Exam 1

Vocabulary section

Comment:
I was curious as to how I should study for the vocabulary. For instance, am I going to have to pull the term from the knowledge bank in my head or will there be a bank provided with the terms to choose from.

Response:
Here is an example of how I used Howell's glossary of terms for the exam. This is what he has for bimodal...
Bimodal - A distribution having two distinct peaks.
If this were on the exam it would look like this...
A distribution having two distinct peaks _____________
And you would have to write "Bimodal." You will be required to recall the definitions from memory of the key terms from chapters 1, 2, and 3.
I hope that helps,

--Dr. M
