STB0001: Prestatistics for Business - Homework Assignments

The final will cover chapters 1-8 and only those sections from which I've assigned HW (see the HW problems listed below). If you can do all of the HW problems you should have no problem with the final. Greater emphasis will be placed on the material covered since the midterm. HOWEVER, make sure that you are very comfortable with knowing how to factor, work with fractions and exponents as these techniques are necessary to solve many of the problems from the new material too.

You will be allowed to bring in one regular size 8.5" X 11" paper to the exam with formulas and/or notes on it. You may use a simple calculator, but not a graphing calculator.

Know the following for the final. To see the exact pages, check the table of contents in the book.:

• All the material from chapters 1-4 that was on the midterm
• Chapter 5 - the whole chapter.
• Chapter 6 - Sections 6.1, 6.2, 6.3
• Chapter 7 - Sections 7.1
• Chapter 8 - Sections 8.3, 8.4

Please look at the date for this assignment. I moved some of the questions from HW2 into HW3. However, HW3 is not due yet for another week. I will probably be adding some more to HW3 later.

HAND IN: P. 73, questions: 2.4-b,c,i; 2.7-i,j,m

In class, I listed additional problems from the chapter for HW. We did not get up to these types of problems in class. I therefore announced that these are the only questions you would be responsible for this week. Unfortunately many students left before I made the announcement. I also emailed the class with this info. If you didn't get the email, I hope you figured it out for yourselves. Sorry.

HAND IN: Nothing

KNOW FOR YOURSELVES (don't hand these in): page 43 questions 1.22 through 1.49.

You did not have to hand this assignment in since there is no work for any of the questions that you can show me beyond the answer that the book gives you.
