Award-Winning Statistics Graduate Level Tutors serving Vancouver

Topics covered include Hypothesis testing, confidence interval, Z score, t table, difference of means, point estimator etc. Students understood the basics and we solved several problems. Achieving steady progress.

We covered week one and week two topics, including a discussion of the latest assignment with detailed notes on the theory behind each problem. We've scheduled another meeting for Thursday to refresh and prep before the student's next class. So far, we've covered the majority of stats 101 (normal probability with hypothesis testing and confidence intervals).

The student and I met for the first time today. We spent some of our session discussing our overall plan for future meetings. Her goal is to confidently explain the method section of her dissertation. We developed a general schedule of topics to discuss before her personal deadline. Today we started going over the basics of relationships between variables. We discussed correlations in depth and she was able to explain relationships discussed in her introduction and methods section. She shows that she is very enthusiastic about the material and will have no problem re-mastering the concepts. We will be discussing the test and why she is using this test during our next session.

We planned out our sessions to make sure we had enough time to cover all the material, then continued working through the old chapters. Combinations & Permutations aren't prevalent in future chapters, so we skimmed through this material instead of our usual comprehensive approach.

We introduced ourselves and discussed her goals for her statistics class. We covered information from the first two chapters in her textbook (introduction to several basic definitions and concepts and measures of central tendency) and discussed a plan for our next session.

Refresher on statistics as the student begins a new course focusing on using a computer program to more easily analyze statistical data. We also worked through 2 problem sets which incorporated using this new technology and new method of interpretation.
