Announcements:

12-2: See here for Charlie's writeup of solutions to some of the problems he went over. Also I will be around for quick last minute conceptual questions. I'll be on campus from roughly 10 AM until 5:30ish. I'll be going to the gym from roughly 12:30-2:30, but will be available otherwise (in my office).
12-1: See here for the problems Charlie will go over during the review session tomorrow. Also see here and here for solutions to the practice finals. You owe Charlie for all of these!
11-30: My office hours Tomorrow (Dec. 1) are from 5-7 in MS 5117. Friday (Dec. 2) Charlie and I will have a review session from 4:30-9ish in Boelter 3400. Charlie will take the lead during the first two hours, we will have a little break, and then I will take over at roughly 6:45-7.
11-26: See here for some examples of the theorems from 12.6. EDIT: Updated 11-30.
11-21: I'll extend my regular office hours tomorrow (Tuesday) to be from 2ish-4:30. You will be able to pick up your midterms then as well.
11-14: I'll extend my regular office hours tomorrow (Tuesday) to be from 3:00-5:00. They will still be in my office (so I apologize in advance for the tight fit).
11-13: See here for the problems Charlie presented in his review session. Solutions should be posted later. EDIT: File now includes solutions.
11-11: See here for a summary of the continuous distributions we have learned thus far.
11-10: Midterm 2 next Wednesday (Nov. 16) at 5 PM. My sections will be in CS 50 again. I will have a review session on Sunday (Nov. 13) from 6ish-8 pm in MS 4000A. Charlie Marshak (another one of the TA's) will have one from 12-2 in the same room. Feel free to come to either (or both!).
11-1: See here for an extended example that serves as a refresher in integration.
10-30: See here for a few extra discrete distribution problems.
10-26: See here for a summary of the discrete distributions we have learned. EDIT: Poisson now included.
10-13: Upon request, see here for few problems on Bayes' Theorem that I may or may not have done in your section.
10-13: I will have a review session this Sunday (Oct. 16) from 6ish to 7:30. The room is MS 5128. Note a few things: 1) MS 5128 is near the vending machines and these may be the only doors open on Sunday. If you you cannot get in the building stay, close by; I will periodically send someone to let people in. 2) If too many people show up, I may try to find a bigger room. If this happens I will post a note on MS 5128 letting everyone know.
10-11: See here for a statement of the Monty Hall Problem; a solution will be posted later this week. EDIT: Solution now included.
10-10: Remember that the first midterm is next Monday! The professor has a practice midterm (with solutions) on his website. My discussions (both lectures) will be taking the midterm in Court of Sciences 50. You can tenatively plan for a review session (run by me) on Sunday from a little after 6 to 7:30. I'll keep you updated on the details.
10-6: See here for a solution of the Three Card Problem I ended section with this week.
9-29: See here for a few short Poker examples I did not get through in my 9 AM discussion.
9-29: Office hours today are moved to 5-6 in my office. I will also be in my office from 11-12 if you have any questions.
9-25: For those of you who want to review some calculus that you will (most likely) need later in this course, sections 4.2-4.7, 5.1-5.2, 5.5, 6.2, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.4 should suffice. I would suggest looking at the following problems: 5.2: 18-20; 5.5: 51, 52, 57; 7.2: 49, 50; 7.4: 5-8. Note that these problems are not in any way mandatory, nor do I guarantee they cover everything we may use later in the course.
