Read 2 classmate's posts and reply to them about how their note taking is similar or different from your own. Then reply to your own post with a reflection paragraph on your note taking strategy for this course - what changes do you think would help you? Did you see something a classmate is doing that has inspired you? What obstacles stand in your way?

I usually just take notes from the textbook. I write out some definitions, and some formulas for solving different math problems. I'm not the best note taker, so I just write out the main points and highlight them, so it is easier for me to find them, if I need help remembering how to solve something. I'm excited to see how others take notes, so that I can make do mine a little better and more useful!

Ch 3 Notations X = variable of interest n= number of observations in data set Xj = 15 observation in data set X2 : 2 0 observation in data set Xn = last observation in data set Sample mean-arithmetic average of values in a sample . Sum of all obsenations # of all observations Population mean denoted by M. arithmetic average of all x values in an entire population . Deviation from the mean= subtract sample mean x from observation to get ( X- X ) Sample variance- denoted by S' sum of squared deviations from the mean divided by 1- 1. 53.
