Data Sets
Project Information
Note: On the project checklist it mentions "Residual Plots." We didn't talk much if at all about this so don't worry about it. You should do a scatterplot of the data with the regression line plotted through the points, and maybe comment on whether the error assumptions appear to be met. (See the "complete regression example" and well as the material from section 11.3)
Review Sheets
Practice Problems for the Final Exam
Here are some good problems from the book with which you can practice the Chapter 13 stuff.
Most are odd-numbered problems so you can check your answers in the back of the book.
13.1, 13.3, 13.5, 13.7(a), 13.9, 13.11(a,b,c,d), 13.17, 13.18, 13.23(a,b).
Formula Sheets
- In place of a formula sheet for exam 3, you may bring in a standard-sized piece of paper with any formula you want (or anything else) written on it.
- For the final exam, the formula sheets for the first two tests will be provided, as
well as this TWO-PAGE formula sheet. In addition, you may bring in HALF of a standard-sized piece of paper with any formula you want (or anything else) written on it (front and back of a sheet cut in half).
