Preparing for exam #1

In order to prepare for mini-exam #1, you are to study a series of data sets. The mini-exam will revolve around these data sets. In studying these data, your challenge (and that of your group) is to figure out what questions will be asked based on evaluating the data and knowing the information that has been presented in lectures. 
  1. Click here to access data sets associated with exam #1
  2. Preparing for the exam should be a "team effort". You are free to work with any other student(s) in the class in preparing for the exam. 
  3. You are free to ask and discuss any questions you would like.
  4. You are encouraged to write anything that you learn from studying for the mini-exam on a printout of the data set pages and bring these pages into the mini-exam.
