Homework for Wednesday 2 May

Also please make sure that you have done and checked the homework problems in this post.

• Problems from the textbook: special distributions (continued)

p. 262 #4.4.1, 4.4.3

p. 269 #4.5.1, 4.5.3

p. 274 #4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.6.6 (challenge!), 4.6.7 (uses the value of gamma of 1/2 from 4.6.6, plus the recursion relation for the gamma function.)

• Problems from the textbook on the CLT:

p. 259 #4.3.33 (I did the first part in class)

Also please read this blog post (and view the video included), which has a very nice explanation of both the normal distribution and the central limit theorem using bunnies and dragons.

• Don’t forget to choose your Datacamp course for the snow day make up 

• Also don’t forget to do the Datacamp assignment on the binomial distribution (pay attention to how the simulation is done: your next programming assignments will be on simulating certain distributions.)
