Any calculators; one sheet of notes (8.5" x 11", both sides); any mathematical or statistical tables. If the tables are in a textbook, elastic bands must be drawn around the remaining pages so that only the tables can be used.
Don't forget to bring elastic bands! You may use the tables of formulas inside the front and back covers of the course text. You may use your calculator instruction card.

Exercises

These exercises are for self-directed learning. They will not be graded and you do not have to hand them in. However, you will find that writing down your interpretation of the results is an excellent way to clarify your understanding. If you complete your report and submit it to me, I will read it and return it with comments and suggestions.
