SE#2 Q24 defective

October 26th, 2009

SE#2 question 24 is defective. The correct answer is 175 and was not an answer choice. That is ok as there is a real chance you have a defective question on your exam. Just last sitting 3L had 1 defective question and 2 questions in which they accepted 2 answer choices.

I’m going to leave it as defective for the rest of this sitting.

Sample Exam #1 minor error in #30

October 21st, 2009

There was a minor error in problem #30 of Sample Exam #1. In the last bullet point “the probability that expected losses …” should read “the probability that losses …”. I’ve made the correction and uploaded the new file.

New Sample Exams

October 20th, 2009

Has anyone worked the new sample exams? What did you think? I can’t imagine they don’t contain any errors. I always make mistakes when I create problems. I haven’t heard from anyone yet.

We are headed down the home stretch. Please don’t hesitate to email me any questions you have. I’m always here to help.

I’ve added video solutions to the Spring 2009 3L exam. For 3L students you should take the whole exam as a practice exam. You can find the exam here. For MLC, I’ve removed the 3L only problems and made this Practice Exam #13. You can find it with all the other practice exams here.

MLC Sample Exam #1 Ready

October 12th, 2009

The first sample exam is now ready. The first 10 questions are from TIA Sample Quiz #1, the second 10 problems are from TIA Sample Quiz #2 and the last 10 are new questions. So if you already took Sample Quiz #1 and #2 then you should just work the last 10 problems in 1 hour.

I will be posting 3L Sample Exam #1 later today.

B.5.69 typo

October 11th, 2009

I fixed a typo in Problem #69 from B.5. Instead of saying “Which of the following are true?” it should have said “Which of the following are equal to Var(Lamda_0)?”
