The class plan:

  1. Examples of normals and uniforms.
  2. A bit more continuous distributions then discrete things.
  3. Homework: (1) Recreate the evidence in the slides. Answering the substantive questions given the models/assumptions we have made. You will simply attest to doing this. The real assignment is: come up with some simulation linking three probability distributions as a follow on to your previous find on distributions for last class. If that proves difficult, trying something new is fine.

Your assignment for this time:

  1. Do the reading.
  2. The assignment: an application of a probability distribution.

For Next Class:

  1. Reading: Inference.
  2. Deliverable: A Gemini simulation [Assignment 12].
