Welcome to the Eco252
Web Page
This is a web page in progress. The page contains links to the course syllabus,
course outline with homework assignments, computer problems, and annotated
outline. It will contain old exams and problem solutions after they are discussed in
class. For future use bookmark this page.
My hard drive is regularly checked for viruses. If you get a virus report, please give
me the document number and I will reboot it.
My standing offer: If you submit a good exam problem to me, you might just find it on the
exam. The better thought out it is, the more likely it is to go on the exam with minimal
changes. However, since there are 2-4 Statistics exams, the numbers are likely to be changed.
A number of students have submitted questions in the past and, I believe, gotten better grades
because of it.
My new standing offer: Work to improve the course, if it is used, will be rewarded by
adding extra credit points to grades on graded homework. This includes, but is not limited to:
1) The first person to notice an error on any posted document except, maybe, exams; 2) help
to improve course graphics and 3) valuable ideas for new documents or problems.
Notices ---- Office hours for current weeks are several pages below.
You should always be sure that you have a copy of the current outline pages to bring to class.
You should know how to access Blackboard.
http://courses.wcupa.edu/rbove/entering_blackboard_for_the_first_time.doc. You can enter this
website through Blackboard.
In addition to the prerequisites you are expected to be able to express yourself in
writing. All e-mails to the instructor should be in grammatically correct but not
terribly formal English with the spelling checked! Note the following rules!
1. Verbs HAS to agree with their subjects.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (They're old hat.)
6. Be more or less specific.
7. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
8. Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
9. No sentence fragments.
10. Don't use no double negatives.
11. Proofread carefully to see if you any words out or mispeld something.
12. Eschew obfuscation.
13. i get very angry if you Don’t capitalize correctly.
14. Pronouns should be put in the correct case, and the passive voice should be avoided
by you and I.
15. I were very happy if you would have learned the difference between the subjunctive
and the conditional.
16. Be fermiliar with the spelling and pronunciation of words like higharchy.
17. Its very annoying if you don’t know when ‘its’ needs it’s apostrophe.
18. Writing carefully, dangling participles must be avoided.
Do you know the difference between ‘you and I’ and ‘you and me,’
‘fortuitous’ and ‘fortunate,’ ‘enormousness’ and ‘enormity,’ ‘lay’ and ‘lie,’
‘reticent’ and ‘reluctant,’ ‘mischievous’ and ‘mischeevious?’ Most students
and too many faculty and newspaper editors don’t. ‘mischeevious’ is not a
real word, but I have been hearing ‘mischievous’ pronounced that way too
often.

You may sign up for up to three different courses. Make sure you give us the course name,
course number, and your section number.
If our tutors are booked, you will be placed on a waiting list. We will contact you as soon as a
space becomes available.
Remember, tutors are assigned on a first come, first serve basis. If you anticipate a problem in a
given subject, sign up early -- crisis tutoring does not work.

Notice Regarding Grades
I am retiring in early August. Incompletes cannot be made up after that time except by arrangement with
the department chair, if she is willing.
Every year a significant minority of Students taking Economics 251 and 252 receive a grade of C- or lower.
Almost all of these students are required by the Business program to receive a C or better in the course. When this
requirement was imposed, I asked the faculty if I should now be giving C’s to the people who would have earned a
C- before the requirement was imposed and was told that I should not. Almost all the people who received a grade
of C- or lower for the course received a grade of D+ or lower on the final exam, this was a score of 18 out of a
nominal 75 on the exam.
Every year students who received grades of C- or lower ask me if there is some way they can make up the
grade. Unfortunately this is impractical and defeats the purpose of a grading system. Almost all of these people will
tell me that they worked hard and attended all of my classes. Good intentions, however, are no substitute for being
able to show me that they learned something. I, therefore, must say no to requests to do something to make up the
grade. It just doesn’t seem reasonable to believe that people who learned relatively little during the term are going to
suddenly understand statistics or that I could offer this opportunity to everyone who did not get a C.
May Notices
May 21 – See ‘Notice Regarding Grades’ above. Exams will be available in my office during
office hours posted for ECO251 summer session.
May 8 – Grades will not be complete until Tuesday of next week and I will not be in the office.
If you wish to know your exam and term grade, you may e-mail me. Final exams will be
available for checking during the first term of summer school.
May 2 – Please remember that the take-home was due this week. Note that I will allow you to
start the final exam early. I do not expect to be on campus regularly for several weeks after
Wednesday,
If you are getting or negotiating a ‘No grade’ and intend to make it up rather than retake
the course, it must be finished before I leave WCU in early August. The solution to last year’s
final is at 252y0781. But you could probably benefit from studying second, third and final exams
in OLD EXAMS

April Notices
April 30 – Note that I will allow you to start the final exam early. Also please note changes in
office hours for Thursday and Friday of this week.
April 25 – In the take-home, question 2f, ‘works’ should read ‘weeks.’
April 24 – Note that there was an error in n in the regression problem on the take-home. n = 11.
I’m amazed that no one saw it because you get unreasonable answers if you use 10. If you need
extra time to deal with this, please take it. Note that I will not be on campus on Monday.
April 18 - The Solution to Graded Assignment 4 is now available. The last (4th) computer
problem is also available. Last year’s Final is available in OLD EXAMS. There seems to be a
second version of part of it there. I will try to figure out why it was there next week.
April 11 – The solutions to the first and second exams are available in OLD EXAMS. Here is the
take-home section of the next exam.
April 8 – All problem solutions have been posted in PROBLEM SOLUTIONS.
April 5 - Graded Assignment 4 will be due on Monday, April 14. Make sure that you keep a
copy of it to compare with the posted solution. There is no guarantee that it will be
returned before the next exam. Solutions to Section F and G are in PROBLEM SOLUTIONS.

March Notices
March 24 - The Solution to Graded Assignment 3 is now available.
Mar 21 – Please avoid leaving assignments under doors! There is an envelope on my door that I
always check before doing grading and I have a box in the department office. Also – please
make copies of everything you hand in to me. Though relatively little gets lost, one lost
paper is bad enough!
March 20 – I was wrong. Next week’s exam will include all of Section E. Solutions to all of
Section E will be posted tomorrow. Here is the take-home section of next week’s exam.
March 19 - Note that there was extra credit on Graded Assignment 3 and that some of you may
have gotten extraneous material on this assignment that duplicates Problem D8, a problem you
should have worked on before doing graded assignment 2. The version posted on March 7 was
correct. Should I warn you that, if you do the extra credit, you could find the problem you
propose on the exam. The solution to the last exam will be posted later today.
March 7 – Graded Assignment 3 has been revised. The major change is the addition of a
substantial extra credit problem.
March 5 – Graded Assignment 3 will be due on Thursday, March 20.You should be working on
the remainder of problems in Section D. Solutions to D and part of E are in PROBLEM
SOLUTIONS.
March 3 – Computer Assignment 1 is due as a part of the next exam. If you missed today’s
session, these assignments are in 252cprb. You are responsible for knowing what was tested and
what the results were. Examples are given in 252 meanx3 and 252meanx5.
February Notices
Feb 29 – The only day I was able to schedule for computer sessions was Monday Mar 3. 10AM
in A002, 11am in A025.
Feb 27 – It is time begin the homework problems on comparison of two sample means. Solutions
are in PROBLEM SOLUTIONS. Make a Diagram has been rewritten to help you with onesample and two-sample tests for means, proportions and variances.
Feb 26 – I have just posted a document called Make a Diagram, which may be useful on
tomorrow’s exam.
Feb 25 - I have just posted Graded Assignment 3. No due date has been set.
Feb 24 – It seems like I made a fatal error in Grass2. Question 3b) should have read ‘Assume
once again that 0.4 is a sample standard deviation.’ As the problem read the answer is the same
as Problem 2. This error seems to have carried through to 3c) too. Obviously if you didn’t say or
imply that this was the same as for 2), you made a mistake. The posted assignment and solution
have been corrected.
Feb 23 - The Solution to Graded Assignment 2 is now available
Feb 22 – Part h of Problem 3 in the take-home should read as below.
f) (Extra credit) Remember that the method that you have been using to deal with
proportions substitutes the Normal distribution for the binomial distribution. In general the pvalues that you have computed are lower than you would get if you used the binomial
distribution. Verify this by making a continuity correction as described in the outline and
repeating your test in c). (2)
Feb 21 – In problem 2 of the take-home you may use a 1% significance level if you feel that it
will make the problem easier. There will be more credit for 98%.
Feb 20 – A first set of corrections has been applied to the take-home. Some lines in Problem 2
were lettered wrong.
Feb 20 – The take-home section of next week’s exam is now available. It should be handed in
inside the in-class part of the exam. Check these notices daily in case of errors in the take-home.
Feb 19 – From Dr. Benzing on calculators. HP10BII i.e., HP10B2 (the last number is the Roman
numeral 2) is used by all finance majors and recommended for all FIN325 students.
Feb 19 – A corrected version of Graded Assignment 2 has been posted. Corrections are not
critical.
Feb 15 – The Solution to Graded Assignment 1 is now available.
Feb 13 – Solutions to all problems in sections B and C have been posted in PROBLEM
SOLUTIONS. You should have done or be doing all problems from B1 through B6 in
HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS. Graded Assignment 2 is due on Wednesday Feb 20.
Feb 8 – If you have forgotten how to compute a sample variance read 252oneaex5.
Feb 7 – I have just posted Graded Assignment 2. No due date has been set.
Feb 6 – I have just posted a revised version of 252doctor. The main change is in the first
paragraph – ‘She knows that the number of sick days taken will be increased by a respiratory
illness and that similar workers nationally take an average of 1.5 sick days a month and that,
nationally, the standard deviation is 0.8.’
Feb 5 – The National Association of Black Accountants has a meeting on Feb 7 at 5:30-6:30pm
in A305. The topic is ‘Do’s and Don’ts of the Interview process. Bring your resume. Everyone is
welcome!
The outline for Section B will be distributed in class.
Feb 4 - Graded Assignment 1 is due on Monday Feb 11.
Feb 1 – It is time to do the homework problems on confidence intervals for the proportion and
standard deviation. Solutions are in PROBLEM SOLUTIONS.
January Notices
Jan 31 – It is time to do the homework problems on confidence intervals for the mean. Solutions
are in PROBLEM SOLUTIONS.
The National Association of Black Accountants has its ‘Welcome Back Social’ tonight at 5:306:30pm in A303 with games, pizza and soda. Everyone is welcome!
Jan 22 – By now you should be ready to discuss Problem A1. The solution is posted in
PROBLEM SOLUTIONS.
Jan 17 - Graded Assignment 1 is now available. No due date has been set. I have not worked
through the solution yet, so keep yourself posted on changes by regularly checking the notices.
Jan 16 - The letter below came from the tutoring center. The current list of tutors is posted above.
"The LARC is welcoming students for registration for the Spring 2008! Please let your
students know we have tutors available for most 100- and 200-level
gen. ed. courses. We
will also offer Praxis review sessions and the Academic Success Workshop. Have a wonderful Spring!"

Jan 9 – For class schedule, see below. On the first day of class, I will hand out the following
Documents: SYLLABUS, HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS and the documents from the
OUTLINE and Lecture Summary that are listed in 252oneaCover2. There will be a revised
academic dishonesty statement that must be signed and returned to me.
Jan 8 – I am posting my schedule for the spring below. Actual office hours during each week
will be posted on the next page.
Every year a significant minority of Students taking Economics 251 and 252 receive a grade of C- or lower.
Almost all of these students are required by the Business program to receive a C or better in the course. When this

just doesn’t seem reasonable to believe that people who learned relatively little during the term are going to
suddenly understand statistics or that I could offer this opportunity to everyone who did not get a C. I, honestly, have
no idea how anyone can make up this grade in the few weeks before the start of the next term.
