Epi 513-606A and/or Epi 513-607A
Questionnaire for students registered in
one or both of these courses
INTRODUCTION
We ask you to complete this questionnaire in order
to help us (the course instructors) know better the students taking this course,
and your potential instructional needs. Responses given will also be used to illustrate
certain points in up-coming lectures. Please respond to all the questions as accurately
as possible. If any results from this survey are shown in class, we will make sure
that no individual identities could be deduced or even guessed at (i.e., summary
information for the whole class only will be presented). Thank you.
IF YOU ARE TAKING 606, PLEASE COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THIS AFTER YOU HAVE ATTENDED THE 1ST 606
CLASS ON FRIDAY SEPT 7th -- the reason for, and answer to, the last (and 606-specific)
question will only become evident during that 1st class.
IF YOU ARE NOT TAKING 606, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND COMPLETE AND SUBMIT THIS NOW.
DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION:
5 PM, MONDAY SEPTEMBER 10.

[This question is not testing
material from a formal probability course .. it is just a check on your intuition]
The first assignment in the probability course in Berkeley
used to be to toss a fair coin 50 times, record on a sheet of paper the sequence
of heads and tails, and hand it in. Many students took a 'shortcut' and made up the
sequence out of their head. Try your 'hand' (or head) at making up a random sequence
of the results of 50 tosses, i.e., out of your head enter a sequence of 50 lower
case h's and t's, with no blanks. The computer will beep when you have entered 50
letters.
For the next next two questions, indicate
what you perceive the temperature to be
