Ok, thanks for the info. Did you guys cover permutation and combinations? As well, did you guys do like binomial and normal distribution, probability like conditional probability, z-scores (normal) and stuff?

Thanks for all the great posts anubhagat! I was a little nervous about this class having not taken data management in grade 12 but I feel fine now! Especially since you say the labs are easy. I have enough labs to worry about. lol

Thats good, so it has quite a few topics that were covered in Data Management/Probability. How difficult is the exam in comparison to the two midterms? Same difficulty or easier or harder? |

the exam and midterms were actually quite easy as long as you did the practice tests that were provided in the back of the lab manual/handbook. the questions were very similar to the practice ones provided so neither the exam nor the midterm were hard as long as you understood the basic concepts.

The midterm for the spring sessions had an average of 16.7/20. The concepts aren't that difficult to learn.

I finished this course last year and got a 10 in it easily. I've never taken a stats course before either. The material is veryy different but totally doable.
