Hi ,
You are receing this e-mail because you indicated when you signed up for Grant's Updates that you are taking Stat 1000 this term. If in fact, you are not taking Stat 1000, please reply to this e-mail and let me know, and I will fix that.
Throughout the term I will send you all sorts of tips to help you study and learn the course. You probably already have done so, but, if not, I strongly recommend you purchase my Basic Stats 1 Study Book. You will find it a great resource to learn the course. I pride myself in explaining things in clear, everyday language. I also provided numerous examples of all the key concepts with step-by-step solutions. You can order my book at UMSU Digital Copy Centre at University Centre at UM campus. They make the book to order so please allow one business day. The book is split into two volumes and each volume costs $45 + tax.
If you ever want to look back over a previous tip I have sent, do note that all my tips can be found in my archive. Click this link to go straight to my archive:
Tips about Venn Diagrams
For those of you doing the old-fashioned hand-in Assignment 3, the key to solving question 3 about baseball is to make Venn Diagrams. Although the question is talking about Home Runs (H), Strikeouts (S), and Wins (W), you are not given enough information to make a 3-circle Venn Diagram like I do in my book. Instead, you want to make separate 2-circle Venn Diagrams. For example, you can make a Venn Diagram that only talks about H and S.
