Announcements
- The average for the final is 25/40, standard deviation 6.
- There's a correction to Problem 3 in the final. Problem 3(b) should say: Show that Pr(N_{t+1} (greater than or equal to) 9N_t/10 | N_t) (less than or equal to) 5/6, instead of: Show that Pr(N_{t+1} (greater than or equal to) 2 (1 - 1/e) N_t | N_t) (less than or equal to) 1/2.
- There's a correction to Problem 2 in the final. Problem 2(a) should ask you to find a consistent reconciliation where at most n checks are written (instead of simply a consistent reconciliation).
- Extra TA Office Hours on Mon 3/19, 10-11am, B260A.
