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

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

To get your lab mark, you must come to class on your indicated lab day. Sorry for the disappointment. #STAT201 #Teaching

I would strongly recommend reading the "Reject or not reject..." post and if you still having problems, come see me in NH 151 starting at 5:30. #STAT201 #Teaching

The question of rejecting the null (and risk committing a Type I error) or failing to reject the null (and risk committing a Type II error) is a ponderous thing, but as we have learned there are 3 methods by which we can come to the same conclusion. Compare the test-statistic against some z (or t) value Calculate a confidence interval and compare if the sample mean is contained within it, or Compare the p-value against α. All three are dependent upon α, although if our test s
