Chapter 11 Statistical Inference Part II (t-procedures)

HW for Wednesday, March 12: Find 10 problems from chapter 11 that have not been assigned yet and complete them. If you find problems that you cannot do, mark those, but they do not count toward your ten. YOUR TEST IS THURSDAY.

HW due Tuesday, March 11: 11.31 and 11.32. Keep the data from today's class in your calculator so we can finish the process tomorrow. Remember, the test is Thursday.

HW due Thursday, March 6: 11.10, 11.15. 11.17

HW due Friday, March 7 (Coach Rinehimer's birthday!!!): 11.16. 11.19, 11.20, 11.27, 11.30 (These are all related!) Good job with the pasta and grip labs today. My hypotheses were that there were 104 pieces of pasta on average in a cup and that the difference between right and left hand squeeze strengths was 7 pounds on average. Your job was to (1) collect data, (2) perform a hypothesis test using your results, and (3) construct a confidence interval for the average or averge difference. EACH of you is responsible for knowing how to do all the steps of these investigations.

HW due Monday, March 10: 11.26, 11.28

Your test on Chapter 11 will be Thursday, March 13th.

Happy Centennial!!!

W.S. Gosset's paper (remember, the brewer who developed the t-distribution?)was published in Biometrika 100 years ago THIS MONTH!
A link to the paper (of course he did not publish online. . .).
