Class notes for the Spring 2016 TTh Statistics class are posted below. This semester we used the book Fundamentals of Statistics, 4th Edition, by Sullivan. So if your class is using the Weiss book, the section numbers will be different and there will be a few differences in content. (For notes from the Weiss book, see 1342 Fall 2016 in the Archives.)
Thursday, January 21 (Section 2.1)
2.2 Organizing quantitative data (Tuesday, January 26)
2.2 Organizing quantitative data (Tuesday, January 26 and Thursday, January 28)
(Revised to add screenshots of time-series plot)
3.1: Measures of central tendency (Thursday, January 28)
3.2: Measures of dispersion (Thursday, February 4)
3.3: Measures of central tendency and dispersion from grouped data (Tuesday, February 9)
3.4: Measures of position and outliers (Tuesday, February 9 and Thursday, February 11)
3.5: The five-number summary and boxplots (Thursday, February 11)
Set theory supplement for Chapter 5 (Thursday, February 18)
5.1: Probability rules (Thursday, February 18 and Tuesday, February 23)
5.2: The addition rule and complements
5.3 and 5.4: Conditional probability, independence, and the multiplication rule (Thursday, February 24, Tuesday, March 1, and Thursday, March 3)
6.1: Discrete random variables (Thursday, March 3)
Select problems from Review Sheet #2 (Tuesday, March 8)
6.2: The binomial probability distribution (Version A; Tuesday, March 8 and Tuesday, March 22)
6.2: The binomial probability distribution (Version B; Tuesday, March 24)
During class on 3/24, I accidentally opened the MW version of the 6.2 notes, instead of the TTh version. So, the 3/24 part of 6.2 (the problems at the very end) are in Version B. The rest of 6.2 TTh notes are in Version A. I sincerely apologize for my confusion.
7.1: Properties of the normal distribution (Thursday, March 24)
7.2: Applications of the normal distribution (Thursday, March 24 and Tuesday, March 29)
8.1: Distribution of the sample mean (Thursday, March 31)
9.2: Estimating a population mean (Thursday, March 31 and Tuesday, April 5)
10.1: The language of hypothesis testing (Tuesday, April 5 and Thursday, April 7)
10.3: Hypothesis tests for a population mean (Thursday, April 7)
11.3: Inferences about two means: Independent samples (Thursday, April 14)
8.2: Distribution of the sample proportion (Thursday, April 21)
9.1: Estimating a population proportion (Tuesday, April 26)
10.2: Hypothesis tests about a population proportion, and 11.1: Inference about two proportions (Thursday, April 28)
I made some videos of the binomial and normal distributions for Math 1324 (once known as Finite Mathematics, now called Mathematics for Business and Social Sciences). They are on this page:

The binomial and normal are in the last chapter listed…ignore the section numbers; just read the section titles.
The examples in the Math 1324 notes do not line up exactly with our notes, but they are very close. If you are having difficulty with the binomial or normal, these videos should help.
