Old Homework Questions
You should be able to view any submitted homework you have done within the "Assignments" section of StatsPortal.
If you missed any homework assignments, you won't be able to see those questions in StatsPortal.
So I'm posting here a document with all the Chapter 1-7 HW questions, another with the Chapter 8-12 HW questions, and another with the Chapter 13-19 HW questions (no answers given here):
DO NOT try to print these whole documents out -- they are many pages! Just view them on your computer or print selected pages.
