16Due: Friday, April 20th
NOTE CHANGES!
  • Pg. 437-438: Using the data in 9.17 and SAS: d) check the assumptions
    e) test H0: beta_1=0 vs. HA: beta_1 not equal 0

15Due: Wednesday, April 18th
NOTE CHANGES!
  • Pg. 437-438: 9.17 a-c using SAS.
14Due: Friday, April 13th
  • Pg. 371: 7.77 using SAS. Remember to state H0 and HA, check the assumptions, and state your conclusion.
  • Pg. 435: 9.10
13Due: Monday, April 9th
  • Sketch an example of a power curve for testing H0: mu=10 vs. HA: m<10 at alpha=0.05.
  • Pg. 370: 7.72a-c
  • Pg. 370: 7.75
12Due: Monday, March 26th
  • Pg. 338: 7.33 by SAS. Check the assumptions.
  • Pg. 390: 8.15 (report H0, HA, the p-value, and the conclusion)
  • [Skip power curve problem]
11Due: Friday, March 23rd
  • Pg. 285: 6.32
  • For the data in pg. 280, 6.24, test H0:sd=2 vs. HA:sd>2
  • Pg. 324: 7.5 a-b by SAS. Also test that the variances are equal and that the two populations are normal.
10Due: Monday, March 19th
  • Pg. 273: 6.7

9Due: Wednesday, March 7th
  • Pg. 241: 5.19
  • Pg. 257: 5.48
  • By SAS and hand, construct a 95% confidence interval for the standard deviation using the data in pg. 243 #5.26
8Due: Friday, March 2nd
  • Pg. 242: 5.25 a-c by hand and SAS. Does the data seem normal? Do you trust the confidence intervals?
  • Pg. 250: 5.32

  • Pg. 137: 3.60
3Due: Friday, February 2nd
  • Pg. 61: 2.64 - Use SAS for part a. Using SAS, does the data seem to be approximately normally distributed?
2Due: Monday, January 29th
  • Pg. 54: 2.52b (also for median). What happens to each of these four statistics if each observation has 2 added to it? if each observation is multiplied by 2?
  • Pg. 64: 2.74 explain using either the empirical rule or Chebyshev's rule.
1Due: Wednesday, January 24th
  • Pg. 17: 1.24
