| Textbook |
An Introduction to Mathematical Statistics and Its
Applications, Fourth Edition, (c) 2006, by Richard J. Larsen and
Morris L. Marx. We will mainly cover selected portions of chapters 2-7
and isolated topics in later chapters.
We will also cover some material not contained in this book,
particularly examples pertinent to bioinformatics.
|
| Goals |
This course is a one quarter introduction to
probability and statistics
geared towards students majoring in Bioinformatics.
For a more thorough course in probability and statistics, take the
Math 180-181 series.
|
| Requirements |
Weekly homework, one midterm, one final.
Your composite grade is comprised of homework (30% for all homeworks
combined), the midterm (30%), and the final (40%).
|
| Homework |
Homework will be posted on the class website
and is due in section on Thursday
or to the T.A.'s homework box (on the wall outside AP&M 6307)
by Thursday 11:59 p.m.
It will be returned to you in section on Thursday
the following week.
-
Please write your name, student ID, date, and assignment number
at the top of the first page. Write them very clearly.
Show your work, and when relevant, circle your final answer.
Please staple the pages together. If you turn in loose pages,
fold pages together, tear and twist the corners, use paper clips, etc.,
your pages will probably be separated or snagged into someone else's
assignment, and you will not receive credit.
-
You may study with others, but the work you turn in should be your own;
do not just copy someone else's answer.
-
Late homeworks will not be accepted.
-
You are strongly advised to attend section. If you will miss
section, you should send it to section with a friend or submit
it to the T.A.'s homework box.
-
Your lowest homework score (including 0 for not turning in an assignment)
will be dropped.
