{\bf Text and Syllabus:} {\it Mathematical Statistics with Applications, 
6th ed.}, 

Wackerly, Mendenhall, Scheaffer, Duxbury.

Syllabus: Selected sections of Chapters I-XI (possibly more; much of the
early chapters is review from M362K.) 
\vskip1cm
{\bf Prerequisites:} M362K
\vskip 1truecm

{\bf Exams:} We will have exams on 2/16 (class 10; Thurs),
 3/30 (class 20; Thurs),

 5/2 (Class 29; Tues).

(No ``Final Exam" planned [subject to Department approval]) 


* Exam grades will be scaled (if the unscaled average is $\leq 75$) to
some value in the 

$75$ to $80$ range.

{\bf **  Makeups will be given very reluctantly.}
\vskip 1cm
{\bf Homework:} Homework problems will be assigned each Tuesday in class and 
will be due the next Tuesday.
 A serious effort should be made on these
exercises. It will probably be difficult to completely learn the
course material without working problems; also exam questions may bear
some resemblance to homework exercises. Additionally, {\it all homework 
together
will be counted as a grade equivalent to one exam grade.}

(Homework assignments will be listed on my web page - see above.)
 
\vskip 1cm 
{\bf Final Grades:} In computing a final grade, I will
count the three tests and one total homework grade equally. 
(So there
will be {\bf four} grades to average.)
