How to Survive a Stats 300 Exam What - me worry?
Quick Overview… Exam will consist of 5 multi-part questions Make sure you review the conclusion section of each lecture – if you can do the questions and know the terms you are ready for the exam Bring a calculator Practice finding means, medians, 5-number summaries, z-scores, standard deviations Know how to read a regression line and identify the model implied by that Understand how to form a residual and residual plot
What can you bring? Calculator (graphing would be of no real advantage) A small index card with formulas only (I will inspect them!)
