Exercises for Wed 10 September

1. On Wed Sept 3 I went through a decent list of exercises, and then discussed various matters from Ch 3 (families of distributions, inequalities, transformations; incidentally, the book's "Chebychev" is a somewhat odd transliteration of Чебышёв). There are just a few more things I wish to point to from Ch 3 before I start with Ch 5, next week.

2. Exercises for Wed Sept 10 are from Ch 3: as many as we find time for, of 4, 6, 8, 13, 14, 20, 25, 26.

3. After being asked about this, I consider it a good idea that we *once in a while*, perhaps once a month, spend one more Wednesday hour, perhaps 12:30 to 13:15, going through more exercises than what we otherwise find time for inside the 9:15 to 12:00 time window, and with more time for details. We'll be coming back to practical details regarding this.

4. We will be determining the precise dates for Exam Part A ("the project") and Exam Part B (the four-hour written exam) shortly.
