ISyE 2028C--Basic statistical methods

TA: your TA is Divya Mangotra (gtg686i at prism...) TA office hours: Wed, 1-2pm, room IsyE 304.


Midterms

As indicated on the syllabus, the first midterm will be Tues 4th Feb. The second will be Tues 18 March. The third, will be 17th April. Each is worth 30%.

Practice: Here is the 1st midterm from last semester. Please note that 1) I had a lot of complaints that it was too long. Thus, your test will be shorter than this. 2) The first few question of this test involved writing explanatory sentences. As this is so subjective and difficult to mark objectively, this sort of thing likely will not appear in your test.

Here is that same midterm test with the answers.


Here is the 2nd midterm from last semester.


Here are the notes for the lesson on 8/22/02 (descriptive stats)

Here are the notes for hypothesis testing lesson
