There are other options available to acquire or rent Minitab for students that want to have it at home but this is not required, students will find Minitab in all the computers on Campus under ’Statistical Software.’ Calculator (Instructions prepared by C. Robe) can be found in Requirements of the calculator vary with instructor. For those sections that require the Sharp Calculator, Instructions for the Sharp Calculator for mean, standard deviation Instructions to use the Sharp Calculator for regression and correlation For students who already have a TI-83 calculator: Instructions for Texas Instrument calculator: mean and variance regression and Correlation DATA SETS The data sets mentioned in the textbook are in the CD-Rom that comes with the book. Data sets from sources other than the textbook are accessible through this Web page.

GRADING AND ATTENDANCE POLICY DEPARTMENTAL FINAL EXAMINATION REQUIREMENT FOR MATH 1530: A comprehensive departmental final examination will be administered in MATH 1530 (Probability & Statistics). For the Fall Semester 2012 the exam will be held during the regular final exam schedule. The room will be announced by your Instructor during dead week. Important: each student must have a current, official ETSU ID card to take final exam. The Final Examination will count 20% of each student’s grade. For extremely low scores on the Final Examination (less than 80 points (or less than 40%) of the maximum of 200 points), the student will be assigned a semester grade of F. The purposes of this program are to increase learning, enhance quality control and minimize grade disparity among instructors. GRADING FOR THE COURSE: The grade will be based on a possible 1000 points (200 from the Final Examination, 100 from Capstone Project, 50 from practice quizzes and 650 determined by the instructor). The scale follows: A 950 – 1000 C+ 780 – 799 A- 900 – 949 C 720 – 779 B+ 880 – 899 C- 700 – 719 B 820 – 879 D+ 650 – 699 B- 800 – 819 D 600 – 649 F Total less than 600 or for academic misconduct or an extremely low grade (less than 80) on the final examination. PRACTICE QUIZZES: There are 16 chapter quizzes in Desire2Learn (D2L). There is no time commitment and unlimited attempts to complete these quizzes but you must get at least 75% of the questions correct on a chapter quiz to get full credit (3 points) on that quiz. You will receive 2 points for attempting all quizzes. All quizzes must be taken one hour prior to the final exam. BONUS POINTS FOR GOOD ATTENDANCE (after the first week of classes): You may receive a bonus for good attendance (we don’t count absences occurring during the first week of the semester). An absence can only be excused” by presenting Instructor with an official ETSU Class Absence Authorization For Student Participation In A University-Sponsored Activity prior to the occurrence of the absence . No other types of absences will be excused even if you have an impeccable reason for not being in class. We interpret the number of absences recorded for a student as an indication of the amount of lecture material they have missed during the semester, not as a critical judgment of that student’s character, motivation and honesty. Bonus points will be awarded in the following manner: 5 absences or more Zero bonus points 4 absences 10 bonus points 3 absences 20 bonus points 2 absences...
