Statistics Class Notes
You should print out the Class Notes and complete them as you watch the videos. When no video is available, I have included a copy of my completed Notes in PDF form. I am creating these as I go so please be patient. For in-person classes, you will be provided a copy of the Class Notes and we will complete them together.
Many Class Notes are copied from the General Education Statistics (Math 145) Class Notes I have made previously. I have not yet bothered to rename them in the files. Do not worry about that please.
