Homework for Monday 23 April

[Latexpage]

See the notes on this page.

Instructions for some calculators are linked on this page.

 

This is practice computing normal probabilities. Make sure that you practice using the calculator you will use on the tests, since you will not be allowed to use R during tests.

The problems are posted in pdf form in the “Resources” page in Piazza.

Section 4.3 p. 245 #4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.3.5(a, b), 4.3.9, 4.3.11

4.3.9 and 4.3.11 are examples of binomial probabilities which are being estimated by a normal probability using the Demoivre-Laplace Theorem. See the notes linked at the top of this page.

Also, more practice finding critical values of Z: use your calculator please!

Find values of the standard normal z such that:

$P(Z \le z) = 0.01$

$P(Z \gr z) = 0.01$

$P(Z \gr z) = 0.005$

 

Also don’t forget about R programming assignment 1

 

Don’t forget, if you get stuck on a problem, you can post a question on Piazza. Make sure to give your question a good subject line and tell us the problem itself – we need this information in order to answer your question. And please only put one problem per posted question!
