STA114/MTH136: Statistics

Homework #1: Review of Probability

Due: Tuesday, Jan 20

Text Problems are from DeGroot and Schervish, Probability & Statistics (3rd edn).

• Exercises
  

  § 1.12, p 47:		3	9	10
  § 2.06, p 93:		3	13	25
  § 3.10, p 176:		15	21	22
  § 4.10, p 243:		7	11	27
  § 5.13, p 320:		13	17	18

• Note
  This is intended to be a review of the material students are expected to be familiar with, perhaps from taking a class like Duke's MTH 135 = STA 104. You may discuss problems with each other but you must write up your own solutions (copying is not allowed). For full credit you must include enough work to justify your answers.

Good Luck!
