• Announcements:
  • I won't be on Zoom during class today, because I'm giving blood. There's a nation-wide shortage of blood right now, and (if you can) I encourage you to donate. Google Hoxworth.

    But feel free to check in with questions or concerns, and I can zoom at off hours if you have questions. Just let me know.

    My zoom meeting room is https://nku.zoom.us/j/7057440907; I'll also be checking my email regularly.

  • Your final Imath assignment was due yesterday, Wednesday, 4/29.

  • An important word on Pass/Fail from our chair, Dr. Buckley.
    • I highlight, in bold, the important piece which the university isn't highlighting in the FAQ for students....
    • My recommendation: do it -- everyone who can.

    Here's the upshot: By going pass/fail, you pass with a D -- and so long as you do pass, you can check your assigned grade (everyone receives a grade anyway), and see if you want to trade it in for your pass.

  • Your final is Thursday, 5/7, at class time. If you have a problem with doing it at that time, please let me know.

    You will have two hours to do it, in Imath.

  • Anyone with a zero score on a midterm will be required to take their final exam on Zoom with me. I'll be contacting you about that.

    Make sure that you know how to Zoom.

• Today:
  • Today we continue in review mode. This occurs in two separate phases this week: last time I covered Packets 1-5.

    Today we cover all the stuff from 6-11 (which I've already provided zooms for). But I'll do a little summary of everything....

    • Overview of 6-8
    • Overview of 9-11
    • Overview Markups, from the videos

• Links:
  • The Standard Normal Table of probabilities.
  • Here's Prof. Buckley's formula sheet, which you'll receive for the exams.
