August 27, 2002

Welcome to BA201! I expect you to attend class with a calculator. You need to purchase SpeedNotes for BA201 in Support Services, Room 111 of the CBA. This is required material.

From time to time, I need to send an e-mail to the entire class. If you do not often read your DANA e-mail, then please forward your mail to the account you use. Go to the following URL to forward your DANA e-mail: http://www.nau.edu/its/email.

According to University rules, you must give your permission to have your grades posted by the last four digits of you ID# to the web page. You may also supply me with a four digit number as a substitute. Please respond by e-mail with your permission or the substitute number. Put "BA201- your section number " and your last name somewhere in the subject line for your e-mail.

You can do the HW (which sometimes includes Excel work) in three different ways: (1) write the HW by hand and cut and paste printed Excel output (show gridlines and cell equations in Excel part) into the HW, (2) use a word processor to do the HW and copy and paste Excel output into the document (show gridlines and cell equations in Excel part), (3) do the entire assignment in Excel (including questions that do not require Excel) and print from Excel (show gridlines and cell equations in Excel part). In any case, clearly mark and identify the Excel work when doing HW. The entire Excel assignments must be done in Excel. If you do not have a personal copy of Excel, it is installed in all the computer labs on campus and in the Student Lounge, Room 105 in the CBA.

You can show the gridlines in Excel by highlighting the cells in question and then clicking the "Border" button on the toolbar. Choose the selection which looks like a window with four panes. You can do the same thing in Word by highlighting what you have pasted from Excel and clicking the "Border" button.

You can copy a cell equation by clicking the cell with the equation, putting in a blank space before the equals sign, highlighting the entire equation including the blank space and the copying the highlighted material (use the "copy" button on the toolbar or use "control-c" from the keyboard). Take out the blank space and press "enter" to restore the original cell. Go to another cell and use the "paste" button on the toolbar or use "control-v" from the keyboard to have the original cell equation appear as text.

If you would like to use a superscript or subscript in Excel, then highlight the letter or number- right button click- click format cells- select superscript or subscript. If you would like to use a Greek letter in Excel, then highlight the letter- right button click- click format cells- select the font "symbol." You may also use the "character map" found in Windows2000 at Start-Programs-Accessories-Character Map. Select the symbol font, then select and copy an item. Go to Excel. Paste the item into Excel. Highlight the item and select the symbol font. Here are some examples of some of the mathematical symbols which can be found in the Character Map: £ ± ³ Ö.

Here is how you can plot a normal distribution using Excel. Put the Z scores -3.5, -3.4. -3.3 .... 0 .... 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5 into a single column. Then in the top cell of the 2nd column use the Paste Function-Statistical-NormDist command where x = the cell reference to the first Z score, mean = 0, stdev = 1 and cumulative = false. Copy this cell next to all the other Z scores. Now use the Chart Wizard- Scatter Plot- and select the one with smooth lines. You want the Z scores on the horizontal axis and the 2nd column of numbers for the vertical axis.
