As we go along I will note here the very few things that may be explained differently in the online lecture notes in this website and the assigned textbook:
The population proportion is denoted by an uppercase P in my online lectures and by the Greek letter π in the textbook.
TBD and by appointment on the Zoomiverse. Email me to schedule a meeting.
Contact Professor Linda W. Friedman: Linda.Friedman@baruch.cuny.edu OR Prof.Friedman@gmail.com
There will probably be some days/times when I am in my office in school. I'll let you know for those who prefer a face-to-face experience.
Before class, read the assigned chapters in the textbook; visit the Lectures page for class notes in pdf format, narrated slides, and videos. Then do the Homework assigned.
Tuesday, Thursday 4:10 pm - 5:25 pm
Homework is due by week, not by date / time. All work for this course may be found on Blackboard under Assignments.
