FINAL EXAM SOLUTIONS


The Final Exam is on May 8, 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Here is a PRACTICE FINAL
Ready for more practice? Here are additional exercises.

The final exam covers topics: Notice that the 2nd part of the course is heavily based on the 1st part. So, practically, the exam is cumulative.

Here is Prof. Baron's Cheat Sheet for the Final Exam which will be attached to your exams along with the tables of distributions. No other material is allowed on the exam.
