Please SKIP the following problems, which refer to distributions or theorems we have not discussed in this class: skip #8, 11, 14, 22, 25, 30, 33, 35, 38, 40
On first time through, just identify the special distribution (binomial, hypergeometric, poisson, negative binomial, geometric, etc.) and its parameters. Then check your answers against what is given in the last few pages. Testing yourself is one of the best learning methods. You can then go back and test yourself a few days later. Try not to memorize answers based on superficial features of the problem, but rather think about the problem and analyze it to see how it fits with its probability distribution. See these notes:
