AMS-5: Statistics
Fall 2006
Quizzes:
There will be four in-class short quizzes. The dates for the quizzes are
given below. In general, the problems for the quizzes will be based on the
homework exercises. The quizzes will be closed-book, but you may bring
one (letter size) piece of paper with notes and formulas on both sides.
You should also bring a standard calculator.
The lowest quiz score will be dropped when computing your average quiz
score. This is meant to account for any reason that might prevent you
from taking a particular quiz. In addition, there will be an
optional make-up quiz on Thursday November 30. If you take this quiz,
you may use its score to replace a lower score of an earlier quiz.
Make-up quizzes will not be assigned.
NOTE:
quiz (and midterm exam) papers will be returned
only during discussion sections for a time period of 7-10 days
after they are graded, and during the instructor's office hours after
that time period.
