Week 9

Statistics Handout & Worksheet

Read page 1-7 in the Statistics handout. We will work the problems on page 8&9 in lab the week following fall break. If this all seems trivially easy to you, go ahead and work the problems on page 8&9 on your own. Use the worksheet to record and answers. If you are confident in your answers, you do not need to come to lab until 2:30 the week following fall break. If you have any questions about your answers, or if you have no idea where to even begin these problems, don't worry. We will work through them step by step. I expect students to work these by hand and not to use JMP Excel SAS or another statistical analysis program. While this may seem tedious, trust me, students in the past have told me that they learned a lot doing these by hand. While I don't expect that you will do the statistical analysis for independent projects by hand, this exercise should help you figure out what statistical test to use and how to apply it.
