Ok, can you help us out with Qs 1,2 & 3 ( they appear to be similar ). What chapter of the text book and what topic is it reffering to, and how did you go about answering it??
Cheers

look at the maths notes
but you dont really even need to know them

two rules

-you can split eqn's separated by + or - into separate eqns
-constants can be moved out the front

then simplify each expression so that you only have a sigma and then the pronumeral

then its simple subsitution

answers for those three were posted in other ecmt thread

Could someone just confirm what stuff we actually need to know from the lecture notes on discrete random variables? I was away from 2 lectures that week.
Some of that stuff seems unneeded. Some of it I can't even really see in the textbook.
The investment return stuff? do we need that. Would appreciate it if someone can guide me through what we need to know as the unit of study outline doesn't seem correct in terms of the text book (eg bayes theorem isn't even in it).
Oh and these are the week 5 notes I believe - the discrete random variables week. They may have continued onto the next week. Not sure

Bayes' theorem is in the textbook....and you need to learn all of the topics in the discrete random variables week 5 lecture notes, including the investment return stuff. If you read the course outline, it says to refer to the lecture notes and not the textbook for week 5.

sorry i meant that bayes theorem isnt in the UOS outline as a reference topic for the text book.

Also, I am bloody furious. I finally manage to catch up and understand most of this ecmt bullpoop and wish to go a bit ahead so that I'm not doe-eyed in lectures as per usual, and the lecture notes which are the only reference for the upcoming week aren't even up yet!

That guy was the worst lecturer/teacher/tutor ever. I think someone with down syndrome could have done a better job. He didnt expalin how anything is done. He just said "this is how its done"
He didnt give us enough time to copy notes. He was absolutely tedious and monotonous. He was plain shit.

he's also shit because he was the reason I came close to not going to usyd. He told me that I'd need 2 minimum econometrics units as a prereq for marketing and also that I wouldnt be able to do econometrics if I hadn't done maths in years 11 and 12.
Luckily another lecturer interjected.
