To present basic statistical theory and preparing you for further study in statistics (if accompanied by appropriate math courses). Mathematical tools (e. g. calculus) will be used and emphasized. Topics to include: probability, distributions, expectation, moment generating functions, functions of random variables, sampling distributions, estimation and testing, the linear model (regression). Tutorial rooms will be posted on the course web site prior to jan 18. Assignments will be posted on the course web site, consisting of suggested exercises, mostly from the textbook. Bring your solutions to tutorials, along with your questions about these exercises or the related theory and concepts. Expect a quiz on the material as well. Mathematical statistics with applications - 7th edition - by wackerly, mendenhall and schaeffer.
