Stat 447 Spring 2002 Instructor : Prof. Stephen Vardeman 304-D Snedecor Hall vardeman@iastate.edu http://www.public.iastate.edu/~vardeman/ Phone: 294-2535 Fax: 294-5040 Office Hours: 2 MTR (and usually after class as needed) Assistant: Yun Lu 210 Snedecor Hall luyun@iastate.edu Phone: 294-2465 Office Hours: MW 4 Textbook: Mathematical Statistics with Applications (6th Edition) by Wackerly, Mendenhall and Scheaffer Class Schedule: 3 MTRF in 38 Physics Final Exam: 2:15-4:15 Monday May 6 (this is the "first meeting at 3 PM Tuesday" exam slot) Course Grading: Exam 1 Exam 2 Final Exam Homework 25% 25% 40% 10% (around 2/21/02) (around 4/4/02) (5/6/02) Homework: Homework will be due on Fridays, at 5 PM at the TA's office. Vardeman will almost surely make assignments with both "problems to be turned in" and "additional suggested problems." Vardeman will ask the grader to prepare solutions for all problems and to mark (possibly a subset of) the "problems to be turned in." The solutions will be scanned and posted on the course homepage at: http://www.public.iastate.edu/~vardeman/stat447/stat447.html You may ask Vardeman for (limited) help with the problems. And you may discuss the homework with fellow students. But each individual must independently write up his or her own problems for turning in. This is an integrity issue. Do not copy what someone else has done and turn it in as your own.
