Schedule and Assignments — MATH200/ME50 Fall 2009 (TC3, Brown)

Notes:

The textbook problems are my short list: you need to work additional problems in your weak areas. I also strongly recommend the practice quizzes. See Your To-Do List.

Since you use your calculator’s built-in tables and formulas, your answers may differ slightly from the answers in the back of the book. Please check Corrections to Sullivan’s Fundamentals of Statistics each week for mistakes in your textbook.

See additional handouts on the course Web page.
