Stat 2000: Assignment 12 Tips (Distance/Online Sections)
Published: Wed, 04/03/13
My tips for Assignment 12 are coming below, but first a couple of announcements.
Please note that my final exam seminar for
Stat 2000 is now scheduled and I am taking registrations. I have split the seminar into two days since we will have to cover Lesson 6 in
Volume 1 as well as all of Volume 2. The seminar is from 9:00 am
to 6:00 pm each day in room 100 St. Paul's College. Each day will cost $40 or, if you attend Day One,
you can attend Day Two for half-price (you will pay a total of $60, in
other words).
Day One is Easter Sunday, March 31 and Day Two 2
weeks later on Sunday, April 14.
Did you miss Day One of the seminar? I have a special offer on my
audio podcasts for students who attend at least one of Day One or Day
Two of the seminar. Of course the audio is available to purchase even
if you do not attend the seminar at all. Click here for more info:

Don't have my book? You can download a free sample containing Lesson 3 at my website here:
Study Lesson 8 in my book, if you have it, to prepare for this assignment. This assignment focuses on Goodness-of-Fit which I teach from
questions 5 to the end in Lesson 8.
Remember, the expected
count of any cell must be at least 5. If an expected count is too
small, you must combine its cell with a neighbour.
Question 1 is similar to my question 5.
Question 2 is similar to my question 9.
Question 3 is similar to my question 11. I
would assume that you are expected to use your 1 decimal place value for
λ to compute all the required probabilities. Note that the last cell in the table they give you wants the probability and expected count if X is greater than or equal to 6.
