Introductory Statistics Online:Creative Commons Local PDF Local PDFs by section
You should not print out the textbook. It will not disappear. You can download the PDF for viewing on your own machine if this is handy for you. You will probably read some sections more carefully than others. Sections are referenced in the tentative scheule as needed.
Statistics textbooks vary in details; you will note differences if you look through other texts and references. We will use the conventions in this textbook.
One weakness of this textbook is that the tables are difficult to use and, notably, difficult to print out in readable form. Here are some common tables in better form:Standard Normal, Binomial, and T Tables
You may have a calculator already, but make sure that it is a scientific calculator which has the needed statistical functions. We will cover usage of some specific calculators in class, namely the TI-30XS Multiview and the TI-84.
I recommend, however, the calculator TI-30XS Multiview. This does what you need. Fancier calculators may be more difficult to use. The FDLTCC bookstore sells the TI-30XS Multiview for under $20. Keep your calculator handy! You must have it for exams and quizzes.
Here are some online calculators, however, and you may use these for your homework.

This course addresses FDLTCC liberal education requirements (Competencies Across the Curriculum) in problem solving and technology. You should come to class everyday! This is the easy way to do well in any course, and it is especially true for math classes. There are exercises in the text for you to do, and these are usually answered at the end of each chapter. You will also get homework assignments on handouts, and you should complete then hand these in at the beginning of the next class. Your homework grade is based on completing and turning in these homework handouts. You will also get sample exams which will be similar in length and content to the in-class exams. Let me know if there is are accommodations you need for the class.

You must have a computer which can run a fairly modern web browser in order to use D2L for the class, and communicate using email and Zoom.
You must have a suitable "smartphone" to take pictures of documents, or a scanner for documents. You must be able to put images of documents in D2L's dropbox or send them as email attachments. Please make clear images so that I can easily read them!
These will be posted on D2L as PDF files. You must be able to view homework and tests as PDF files, and most web browsers will do this.
There are a couple ways to complete assignments and get them to me.
1. Print out PDF documents, then complete your work on the paper. 2. View the PDF document, then write your work on your own paper. This is fine, but please clearly label your paper with the assignment or Test number, and number each problem sufficiently so I can easily figure it out. In any case, also put your name and the course on each paper. Then, put the image of your completed work in D2L's dropbox or send it to me as an email attachment.
