- Chapter 11
- Simple Linear Regression
- Probabilistic and deterministic models
- Independent and dependent variables
- Understanding assumptions about populations of y's for fixed x.
- Linearity of means
- Normality of populations
- Constancy of variances
- Independence of populations
- Checking assumptions
- Interpreting graphs of residuals
- Interpreting slope and intercept
- Understanding residuals
- Interpreting R^2
- Testing hypotheses about a slope
- Prediction intervals and confidence intervals
- Inferences about correlation coefficient (rho)
- The bivariate normal distribution
- Performing a test that rho is zero
- Chapter 13
- A completely randomized design one factor (1-way) design
- A randomized block design
- A completely randomized two factor (2-way) design
- Sources of variation for 1-way, randomized block, and 2-way
- The assumptions for ANOVA
- All poulations are normally distributed with the same variance
- Between and within sample variation

- The Tukey-Kramer multiple comparison procedure for 1-way ANOVA
- Properties of the F curves
- Always positive, average value 1, curve gets more symmetric as
degrees of freedom increase
