I would appreciate your input as to the date of the midterm exam prep seminar for Stat 2000.  Since the midterm exam is on Saturday, March 3, I intend to offer the seminar on the weekend of Feb. 25 or 26.  That is the weekend at the end of the midterm break. Would you prefer the seminar to be on Saturday, Feb. 25 or Sunday, Feb. 26 or does it matter?  Keep in the mind the seminar will be 9 am to 9 pm on the day. I could also be convinced to offer the seminar on the weekend of Feb. 18 or 19 at the start of the midterm break if that suits students better.  Please let me know your plans for midterm break and if you have an opinion about the seminar date.

Assignment 2 has not been posted yet.  I will send tips once the assignment is posted.
 
Study Lesson 3 in my book before you start this assignment.
 
Questions 3 to 6 should go quite smoothly for a person who has studied Lesson 3 in my book.
 
To be able to understand questions 7 and 8, you will need to read my "Errors in Hypothesis Testing Revisited" section in Lesson 6 of my study book (this is only in the last two editions of my book, white or blue covers).  You may also need to skim through some of the earlier questions in Lesson 6 to get a grasp of how to compute Discrete Probabilities and Binomial Probabilities.  I think mastery of these topics is not important at this time, you will get an opportunity to learn this lesson more thoroughly later on in this course.
