Bloom http://cnx.org/content/col10617/ http://cnx.org/content/col10617/ and Homework Book for Collaborative Statistics by R. Bloom http://cnx.org/content/col10619/ These custom collections are based on the textbook collection Collaborative Statistics, by Illowsky, B.and S.Dean, Connexions Web site, http://cnx.org/content/col10522/1.29/, Dec 5, 2008, but have been modified, as detailed in this module. If future modifications are made to the custom collection, this module will be updated to contain current information. IMPORTANT NOTE TO STUDENTS OWNING A PRINT COPY OF THIS TEXTBOOK:This custom version of the Collaborative Statistics textbook by Susan Dean and Barbara Illowsky has been modified by Roberta Bloom. The sections that are different in this book are listed below, by title, along with a description of the changes. Section numbers and page numbers may be different also, but the section titles should correspond to the sections in the original Dean/Illowsky textbook.If you are using a print copy of this textbook and your class instructor is NOT Ms. Bloom:you need to be aware of the textbook changes listed below you may need to go to Collaborative Statistics collection by S. Dean and B. Illowsky ( http://cnx.org/content/col10522/latest/ ) to view or print out the versions of the listed sections as included in the Dean/Illowsky collection for this textbook so that you have the same version as the rest of your class. The custom collection for Ms. Bloom's class has divided the textbook into two collections:Homework Collection Collaborative Statistics Homework Collection (modified R. Bloom) ( http://cnx.org/content/col10619/latest/ ) which contains the formula summary page, the homework problems and the review problems Textbook Collection Collaborative Statistics (custom collection modified R. Bloom) ( http://cnx.org/content/col10617/latest/ ) which contains the text and the chapter practices, but not the homework or review problems. YOU NEED TO USE BOTH THE HOMEWORK COLLECTION AND THE TEXTBOOK COLLECTION FOR MS. BLOOM's CLASS. You can access and use these collections in the following ways:Buy print copies of both the homework book and the textbook Buy a print copy of the homework book and use the textbook online Buy a print copy of the textbook and use the homework book onlineUse both the homework book and the textbook online Print copies can be ordered online. Use the links above to access the collection; then use the "order print copy" button that appears towards the right in the top portion of the page.List of Modifications:Labs and Projects RemovedThe labs and projects have been removed from this modified version of Collaborative Statistics. Ms. Bloom posts the labs (and projects, if any) for her class on her class website. If you are using this book with another instructor you may need to access and print out the labs or projects online from the original Dean/Illowsky Collaborative Statistics textbook collection: http://cnx.org/content/col10522/latestChapter 1 Data and SamplingHomework: two new homework problems have been added Chapter 2 Descriptive StatisticsMeasuring the Spread of the Data: some revisions in wording and use of symbols; introduced terminology for z-score; formulas added Practice 3: Interpreting Percentiles: new section added that was not included in the original textbook Homework: one new homework problem has been addedChapter 3: Probability TopicsTerminology: wording revisions; discussion of the Law of Large Numbers added Independent and Mutually Exclusive Events: wording revisions; add additional worked example has been added to illustrate determining that two events are not independent Contingency Tables: one example was removed from this section Practice 1: the data has been presented in tabular form Homework: new problems #33 through #41 have been addedChapter 4: Discrete DistributionsHomework: new problems #38 through #43 have been added Chapter 5: Continuous Probability DistributionsIntroduction to Continuous Random Variables: some material has been removed Properties of Continuous Random Variables: the concepts of probability as area, including graphs illustrating this concept; probability density functions, and cumulative distribution functions are explained Uniform Distribution: Example 4 is new, illustrating the uniform distribution when the minimum value is not 0. This replaces the example for conditional probability that had been in the original module. Practice 1: Uniform Distribution: Problems pertaining to conditional probability have been removed from this sectionChapter 6: The Normal DistributionNo changes have been made to this chapter Chapter 7: Central Limit TheoremThe section for CLT for Sums has been retitled as OPTIONAL Using the Central Limit Theorem : Examples illustrating use of the CLT for sums have been removed from this section. Practice: problems pertaining to the CLT for sums were removed from the practice Homework: Several homework exercises pertaining to the CLT for sums have been removed. Several homework exercises have been changed to reflect only the CLT for means: parts pertaining to the CLT for sums were replaced with new parts or removed. Specific changes made: Exercise #1 parts g,i and exercise #15 parts d,e,i and exercise #6 have been removed. Exercises #7, #11, #13, #22, #23 have been modified. Exercise #24 is new. Review: the context of the last problem has been changedChapter 8: Confidence Interval EstimatesConfidence Interval for an Unknown Population Mean, Population Standard Deviation Known: Normal Distribution: worked examples have modified to show the step by step solution using the error bound formulas to find the confidence intervals; revised module may also contain some revisions in wording. Confidence Interval for an Unknown Population Mean, Population Standard Deviation Known: Normal Distribution: An additional example has been added to the module illustrating how to find the mean and the error bound when only the confidence interval is given. Confidence Interval for an Unknown Population Mean, Population Standard Deviation Unknown: Student t Distribution: worked examples have modified to show the step by step solution using the error bound formulas to find the confidence intervals; revised module may also contain some revisions in wording. Confidence Interval for an Unknown Population Proportion: worked examples have modified to show the step by step solution using the error bound formulas to find the confidence intervals; revised module may also contain some revisions in wording. In all 3 sections listed above, the emphasis has been changed to using the error bound formulas to calculate the confidence interval rather than reliance on the calculators' interval functions to find the confidence interval.Chapter 9: Hypothesis Test for a Single Mean or Single ProportionHomework: Some homework exercises have been omitted in this revision; the numbering remains unchanged for the remaining exercises. The omitted exercises are indicated in the section. Chapter 10: Hypothesis Testing: Two Means, Paired Data, Two ProportionsNo changes have been made in this chapter. Chapter 11: THe Chi-Square DistributionNo changes have been made in this chapter.Chapter 12: Linear Regression and CorrelationAt this time, no changes have been made in this chapter. Chpater 13: F Distribution and ANOVANo changes have been made in this chapter.Hypothesis Test Solution SheetsHypothesis test solution sheets for chapters 9, 10, 11, 13 will be modified and will be made available, appropriately formatted, via links on Ms. Bloom's class website. The original solution sheets will be removed from the online collection.
