Homework and quiz problems are a good source of practice. Solutions to homeworks have been posted elsewhere on the class homepage. The best way to prepare for the exam is to work practice problems; it is not necessary to memorize formulae as you are allowed one 8.5 by 11 inch "crib sheet". Rework quiz and homework problems that might have given you trouble, work in-class examples, and look at unassigned problems in the book. The exam covers most of chapters 5 through 9 (see below for exceptions); here are a few suggestions:
5) "Two Random Variables" (All Sections).
ISBE 5.14, and 5.20-5.23.
6) "Sampling" (Sections 1, 2, 3 and 4).
ISBE 6.34, 6.36, 6.37, and 6.39.
7) "Point Estimation" (All Sections).
ISBE 7.6 and 7.14.
8) "Confidence Intervals" (Sections 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5).
ISBE 8.7, 8.12, 8.14, and 8.23.
9) "Hypothesis Testing," (Sections 1-3).
