"Statistical
thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability
to read and write." - paraphrasing of H.G. Wells (British author) by a
former president of the American Statistical Association.
"There
are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." - Benjamin
Disraeli (19c British Prime Minister).

Printing Suggestions for Typed Files
I recommend two-page-to-a-side and/or double-sided printing to
save paper. Color printing is nice, but B&W printing is cheaper.
These
are pdf files. You can get the free Adobe Reader at http://www.adobe.com. Get a version that is compatible
with your system!

FALL 2019 CLASSES: You can pick up

can also pick up items during the Spring 2020 term (office hours probably MW
6:30-7:45pm, TTh 5:30-6:45pm, just like for Fall
2019). Everything will be thrown away after the Spring 2020 semester.
