Document Summary
Course marking scheme: 3 tutorial quizzes (tq) and 2 midterms. Stat 231 is the reverse of stat 230. We toss a coin 100 times, we get 60 heads. 230, we calculate the probability of that happening (binomial distribution, 100 and 0. 5, p(x=60)) with all the parameters given (p = 0. 5 to get a head for a fair coin). In stat 231, we try to find the parameters by experiments, and try to infer what we can say about the fairness of the coin. Mlb: between 1901-1941, batters with ba . 400+: 11. Kansas weathermen: they are correct about whether it will rain the next day about 85% of the time. However, it only rains about 10% of the time in kansas. So if i go to the weather broadcasting station and say no rain tomorrow and then go home, i will be statistically more accuarate that these meteorologists.
