Web Page (homework assignments are listed): www.ma.utexas.edu/\~\ friedman \vskip 1truecm {\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.) \end
