Hi Professor,

There are some portions in the prescribed chapters which you hadn’t mentioned during the class;
for e.g., most of the content under Non-Parametric Tests (K-S one-sample test, runs test, binomial test, etc.).
Some portions of these are also heavily quant-intensive.

Can we assume that we will not be tested on these concepts, either in the MCQ or non-MCQ sections?

P.S. – There are similar chunks in other chapters too, which I’m not listin here for brevity.
So is it safe to assume that if something was absolutely not mentioned in your class presentations,
then we can ignore those from the exam perspective?

Please clarify.

My reply:

Kindly safely assume that nothing that was not covered in class/mentioned on lecture slides will show up anywhere in the exam.

Tks.

Dear Professor,

Just wanted to clarify a couple of things reg the exam. Do we need to know Phi Coefficient, Contingency Coeff., Cramers V, Lambda etc. Also, to what extent do we need to know about Chi Square, F-stat etc. Would we need to know the computation and calculation or just the concept

Thank you.

Regards,

My reply:

Hi S,

No. *None* of the stuff not referred to in the class or the slides is relevant for the exam - either in the MCQs section or the non-MCQ one.

Hope that clarifies.
