For the Quantitative Methods portion of the exam I know there were times when studying where we were asked to look up numbers off the T-table or Z-table. Do you know if the exam will be similar? Or will the necessary values be provided to us?作者: kd26gioi 时间: 2011-7-11 19:45
Good question. Didn't see anything that needed the tables on the mock. Didn't see the tables either. I guess if you do need them, they will be provided.作者: evolsteevol 时间: 2011-7-11 19:45
This is a relief. However I find it interesting that some of the test-prep material emphasize we learn how to look up t-stats and z-scores (a topic that took me a while to fully grasp) yet we won't need to look them up on the exam.
A bit misleading if you ask me.作者: marsilni 时间: 2011-7-11 19:45
Some questions they'll give you the look-up values, but on others they might just give you mini-tables (i.e. 3 rows, 3 columns). You'll need to know whether to use n or n-1, etc. and what confidence level.作者: lc26mizzou 时间: 2011-7-11 19:45
do we need to memorize critical values for the various test statistics and confidence intervals?作者: rkapoor 时间: 2011-7-11 19:46
i would know 1.65 1.96 2.58 for 90%, 95% and 99% and know that the t stat will be a bit a bit wider than those.
i remember it by counting 5, 6, 8 - the last 3 #s and fill in the rest through memorization/repetition.作者: ishfaque 时间: 2011-7-11 19:46
Does anyone know for sure if we need to memorize critical values? One of the questions on the Elan mock required we know the 90% Z value but I'm pretty sure no tables will be provided.
