STUDY GUIDE FOR EXAM 3, BA201

The test includes material from chapters 7, 8, 9 and 10. It emphasizes the hypothesis tests we've studied in chapters 8 & 9. Pay attention in class to learn how much of chapter 10 will be included on this exam! I have prepared a list of suggested practice exercises from the text. A student who thoroughly  understands these exercises, together with those exercises in the assigned homework, should be well prepared for the exam. As a part of this understanding, the student should be able to explain (with graphs where appropriate) the underlying concepts. Examples of the concepts include:  population distribution, sampling distribution, probability, percentile, confidence interval, p-value, rejection region, etc.
