Final Comments Before the Final Exam
Due to the close proximity of end of classes, publishing my comments on project solutions, and the final exam date, I have decided that the exam will be an easy one. So do not panic. Some recommendations follow:
1. Study well all project problem solutions and my comments on them. Be sure you understand my arguments in those problems where I have found mistakes or other faults.
2. Study well Chapter 14, and the examples 14.1 to 14.4.
3. Understand very well and know how to determine all terms of an ANOVA table. The Anova table is a useful tool in Chapters 11 to 14.
4. Some terms, like sum of squares have lousy formulae, I will hand-in any equation needed to calculate things, you do not need to memorize formulae.
5. You do need to know by heart certain statistical terms, as an example, not knowing to differentiate between population average from sample average; or variance from standard deviation would be a great dissapointment to me after talking about this during a whole semester.
6. Scores from Exam 2 will be taken to the exam site for you to see and check. No scores of project will be available this week.
