Thursday night is a crash course for me in stats...ive forgotten everything i learnt...need to brush up. Neways thanks for the bump :)

how difficult is 2nd year stats? I've pre-enrolled in both stats courses, but may change over to something else...I need my dose of maths, and dont want to screw around with matrices and vector calculus...plus stats is useful for any type of research i suppose.

You get given tables, similar to the ones at the back of primer. The tutor guy handed sample tables out during the last tute - theyre identical to the primer's tables...we get a normal table i think, as well as percentage point stuff for the t-statistic iirc.

well think of it in terms of the number of standard deviations away from the mean - thats all its saying - the probability of achieving a result at least "c" standard deviations away from the mean is less than 1/c^2

well alkenes undergo addition and hardly ever substitutions, alkanes undergo substitutions and never additions. As far as alkane reactions go, there isnt a wide variety of commonly encountered reactions - mostly radical reactions. Alkenes have a much wider set of chemical reactions - oxidation...

hehe this is some good stuff...keep up the aggression, both of you :rolleyes:

sikeveo, get off bos and do some 4unit :p

I did post a year ago :rolleyes:
