Material covered: The Week 4 Exam will cover all material up through and including Lecture 6 (random variables and expectation). This includes everything on Problem Sets 1 and 2 and in Section Handouts 1 and 2.
Logistics: The Week 4 midterm is a two-hour, closed book, closed calculator/computer exam. You are, however, allowed to bring two pages (front and back) of notes, formatted in any way you like.
Answer Format: You are going to be solving probability questions by hand. To that extent we are not interested in numeric answers, but rather in formulaic answers. It is fine for your answers to include summations, products, factorials, exponentials, and combinations, unless the question specifically asks for a numeric quantity or closed form. Where numeric answers are required, the use of fractions is fine. You must show your work. Any explanation you provide of how you obtained your answer can potentially allow us to give you partial credit for a problem.
Practice material: Previous iterations of this course have had a midterm that may have covered slightly different material than you are responsible for. To help you practice the concepts for our Spring Quarter 2024 Week 4 Exam, we have provided these previous midterms in whole. Feel free to post on Ed to clarify whether a certain question from a practice exam covers material that will be on this quiz.
