• Announcements:
  • Quiz 2 is returned.

• Today we continue with Packet 04 (Hypothesis Test for p).

  • An amusing example of an hypothesis test (search for 'experiments' -- with the quotes)

• Links:
  • The Standard Normal Table of probabilities.

  • Statcrunch instructions:
    • Load the Stop and Frisk Data for packet 2. Load it by "WWW address", and make sure to set the delimiter to "comma" (because this is a "csv" (comma-separated values) file.
    • Once the data is loaded, click on "Graph" or "Table".
    • Alternatively, you may want to join my "group" on Statcrunch. That way you can access the data more quickly. It's Sta205-Long, if you want to add yourself into that group.
    • For the IMath homework, you'll need the Bipolar Depression Study data. Same thing: Load it by "WWW address", and make sure to set the delimiter to "comma" (because this is a "csv" (comma-separated values) file (or get it from the group).
