Where are we?

Statistics 3N03

Updated 2000-12-05

Where did we get to in the text?

STUDY HINTS!

Be sure you know how to use your calculator to do simple linear regression ANOVA and single-factor ANOVA calculations! These are simple to do, guaranteed to be on the final exam, and easy marks if you know what you are doing.

Be sure you know definitions for ALL the terms listed on the statistical jargon and definitions pages. Check in the text or come and see me if there is anything you are not sure of.

The exercises from Chapters 12 and 13 in Exercise #3 will give you practice in regression with Pure Error and single-factor ANOVA, the final topics on the course. Model solutions are posted.

Work through last year's exam. You may bring your work for me to check, or for help on any problems you can't do.
