Pre-exam support:
Practice exams:
I will provide one practice exam that is similar to the final exam in terms of content and structure. Son will conduct a tutorial session to go over the practice exam.
Additionally, I will provide a shorter set of extra practice problems and review them in my own review session.
The detailed solutions to the practice exams/problems will be posted on Friday(June 21) night.
Review sessions:
The details about the final review sessions can be found here
The study materials are ranked by their informativeness about the final exam:
Practice exams> worksheet problems> lecture slides examples> assignments
If you are short on time, make sure you understand each question in the practice exams and worksheets. I have prepared worksheets on joint (discrete and continuous) distributions, total laws, and the central limit theorem, as these topics are important and will all be tested on the final exam.
FAQs: Common questions and answers related to the exam format, content, and expectations.
