Show up!
For in class:
Assignment due today, so no other prep. In class we'll continue to get stuck into probability theory and there will be some reading on that for next week.
More probability: no prep, but you can start on the reading for Wednesday.
Overlapping probabiity readings:
The notes correspond fairly closely to what we've discussed in class. The OpenIntro stats ones go more deeply into conditional probability. We won't explicitly need that conditional probability material later, but if you're already comfortable with the rules we've talked about in class then you should spend your time there.
Welcome back! Zooooooooom.
The mostly-Monday track will follow the parts of the text we want to cover. Wednesdays will be where the "project" work lives. This might be the project you had in mind before break. Circumstances might have meant there's something else you want to achieve here. Come to class ready to talk about what you might want to do with half your time for the rest of the semester.
Have read OpenIntro Stats 4.1 on the normal distribution and practise some of the calculations (finding z-scores, finding the proportion of a population that lies in some range, finding the percentile of a measurement are the three biggies). We'll troubleshoot any difficulties you're having here. I'll also give you a whirlwind tour of other distributions (the rest of Chapter 4) but deep understanding of this won't be essential to what is coming in the rest of the semester (with the possible exception of wanting it for your project work, depending what you choose).
Brief individual project check-ins. Schedule:
These are to make sure that I talk with each of you. We'll certainly need more time than this on average for the rest of the semester. If what you're choosing to work on at the moment includes more project work, let's talk by email as well and/or set up some time outside of class.
Project People: come ready to talk for 5mins or so and answer questions on what you've done with your project work so far and what is to come. If you have one cool central piece, it's probably better to spend the time on that than to gie us a briefer overview of several different pieces.
NOTE: Delayed until next week. See also prep for Sunday 19th.
If one or both of the following applies to you, please email me by noon on Sunday 19th:

Inferential Stats. No prep necessary.

Final wrap up. Come with any questions about the assignments or anything else.
Project Presentations. You have ten mins each to share what you've accomplished.
