Part IV: Inference about Relationships

"Part IV builds elaborate methods on the foundation we have laid without introducing fundamentally new concepts. You can see that statistical practice does need additional big ideas by reading the sections on 'the problem of multiple comparisons' in Chapters 20 and 22. But the ideas you already know place you among the world's statistical sophisticates."
--David S. Moore (BPS 3/e 527)

Homework rules

You may work with other students on figuring out how to work homework problems, but you must write up the solutions on your own and in your own words.
Acknowledge your sources (people and texts). This is part of academic honesty.
In nontrivial problems, show how you get your answers.
Turn in neat, well-written solutions, not messy first drafts. Trim "fringes." Staple.
Turn in homework on time. Late homework will not be accepted, but your lowest two homework scores will be dropped.
Do extra credit problems without consulting anyone.
Turn in extra credit solutions separately from regular homework.
