Complete the following questions before our next class. (Note that you’ll want to read Section 20D to see how to identify outliers.)
Exercise 20B.2 questions 4, 9
Exercise 20B.3 question 3
Exercise 20C questions 1a, 3, 4
Exercise 20D questions 1, 3, 4, 6, 8 (read this section to see how you should identify outliers)
Exercise 20E questions 2, 3, 5
Read sections 20A and 20B in our textbook (these are fairly lengthy sections), paying particular attention to the definitions of statistical terms. What’s a discrete variable? What’s a continuous variable? What’s a histogram? What does it mean to say that a distribution is positively skewed? We can discuss any questions you have about these terms in our class on Monday.
Then, complete the following questions.
Exercise 20A questions 1 and 2
Exercise 20B.1 question 2, 5, 8, 11, 12
Despite the title, I’m also going to suggest some loosely related reading for you to complete over the weekend, along with a few questions focused on the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
I suggest you read (in the Haese Calculus book) sections A and B, paying particular attention to rules for working with absolute value expressions, and the squeeze theorem for functions (we’ll see this theorem again, recast in terms of sequences, later in the course).
It’s also worthwhile to have a look at Section G in the Haese book, which should be a review of what we’ve discussed about the Riemann definition of the definite integral.
Finally, complete the following questions for our next class (again, from the Haese book).
Exercise H, questions 1, 2, 4, 8, 10
Complete the following questions before our next class.
(from the Pearson book) page 1436 questions 7, 10–13, 15
Complete the following questions before our next class.
Exercise I.1 (from the Haese book), questions 1, 3, 5b, 6, 7
Complete the following questions before our next class.
Exercise 16D questions 1 and 2
Complete the following questions before our next class (tomorrow!).
Exercise 19C.2 questions 2, 4, 5, 8, 9
Complete the following questions before our next class.
Exercise 7A questions 2def, 3, 4b, 6b, 7, 8
Exercise 7B questions 4, 5a
Exercise 7C questions 1, 3, 4a
Complete the following questions before our next class.
Exercise 16A.1 question 2b
Exercise 16A.2 questions 1b, 2a
Exercise 16B questions 1def, 2abc (these are similar to what we did in class—substitute in one equation to get one equation with a single variable, solve for that variable, then use one of the original equations to solve for the remaining variable)
Exercise 16C questions 1abc, 2def, 3
Complete the following questions before our next class.
Exercise 19A questions 2–4
Exercise 19B questions 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 13–16
