SUNYIT Applied Stats (Mat225) 1. 08/25/09: Read Ch. 1, 2; 3.1-5,29-35 2. 09/01/09: Read the rest of Ch. 3; 3.15-21 3. 09/08 We don't meet in class. Instead: watch lectures about data visualization and applications of statistics:
Hans Rosling No More Boring Data
Peter Donnely How Juries are Fooled By Statistics
Tom Mitchell Brains, Meaning and Corpus Statistics
Sir David Cox The Role of Statistics in Science and Technology
Peter Carr Issues in Financial Mathematics and Statistics
Review, thoroughly, everything we did so far. Practice the MATLAB commands we used: rand, randn, mean, median, std.
Try: Read Ch. 4 Probability Distributions, Ch 5 Probability Densities
