[StFX] STAT201 Final Exam Tutorials
As mentioned in class, I will provide sample problems for you to try in preparation to the Final exam. Although I cannot give solutions to them, the 201 markers/tutors will have access to them and will have solutions for those interested. That tutorial, which you voted on, will be hosted on sunday, December 6th from 5:00 - 7:00pm in SCHW156. As mentioned before, it will cost $10 for the session; however, given that they normally charge $15/hr you are getting quite a good rate

[StFX] STAT201 Assignment 5, Q7/8
Since the term is coming to an end, questions 7 and 8 on the assignment will be bonus questions and not mandatory for the assignment. With that said, I would strongly recommend you attempt the questions for yourself before the final, as the paired difference stuff is open game for the final examination. #STAT201 #Teaching

[StFX] STAT201: Lab 4 "cancelled"
To ensure that we thoroughly cover all the necessary material, Lab 4 will be restructured as a class and so we will only lightly talk about the material related to the lab - for those interested, I will post the lab material online later on - and continue w/ the course per usual. To get your lab mark, you must come to class on your indicated lab day. Sorry for the disappointment. #STAT201 #Teaching

All three are dependent upon α, although if our test s
