Release 3

January 4th, 2010

The following items were released today:

Chapter 2: Probability (revised). Updates based on additional input from project fellows.

Chapter 2 problem set. The Chapter 2 problem set is entirely new, produced by Mine. It provides 20 problems for general use, most problems offering multiple parts.

Chapter 3: Distributions of random variables. Chapter 3 covers distributions of random variables. The first section introduces the normal model, and the second outlines tools to assess whether the model approximation is reasonable. The third and fourth sections introduce the Bernoulli, geometric, and binomial distributions. We anticipate expanding Chapter 3 to incorporate additional distributions at a later date.

Our next planned release is February 15th, which will include Chapter 4, a problem set for Chapter 3, and a revised version of Chapter 3.
