Text The Basic Practice of Statistics -- by David S. Moore
3rd edition 
ISBN: 0-7167-5881-4
Schaum's outline of Introduction to Probability and Statistics -- by Seymor Lipschutz and John Schiller.
ISBN: 0-07-038084-8

This book contains very good examples and they are explained in detail. If you feel that you can have some difficulties, this book will be very helpful

Description Credit Hours: 3

This course provides a firm foundation for the study of statistics in other fields. Although no one field is emphasized to the exclusion of others, applications are drawn from psychology, political science, exercise science, and other areas.

Prerequisite: Math C055.

Homework Homework will be assigned, and communicated to the students by email.

Temple University has a  MSRC (Math Science Resources Center) in Room 17 & 18,Curtis Hall. They can help you to do your homework. 

Exams Final Section 1: Tuesday  5/11    8:30-10:30
Final Section 2: Friday  5/7     11:00-1:00 

The instructor will not accept any excuse not to take those exams on time unless credible proof is provided justifying the absence. Without proof of the absence the grade will be a zero.

Only scientific calculator (graphic calculator or any "sophisticated" calculator will not be accepted) is allowed during exam. If you don't bring it, you will have to do the test without it. The instructor will not allow the students to share calculators during the test. 

Obviously cheating is not permitted. Upon the finding of a violation of the Code of Conduct the University Disciplinary Committee or Hearing Officer may recommend any of the following sanctions, alone or in combination:
a. Expulsion
b. Suspension
c. Probation
d. Fine
e. Academic Sanction
f. Withdrawal of Student Social Privileges
g. Alternative Sanctions

Therefore if  you are caught cheating you could be expelled from the University. No refund, no transcript, just trouble.
