i somehow finished my homework. finally. just now. it was "only" 5 problems left, unfortunately each of the 5 problems had multiple parts (like an a, b, c and d). I am in over my head. i drew the distribution, but totally guessed at the mean and standard deviation. i have no clue.

the study group i joined turned out to be one guy posting the answers he got on a free forum he created. i am not in it anymore. i don't want to cheat. i'm going to try to get a different group together. and may take half a day off work and go over to the tutoring center later in the week for help. our 2nd exam will be handed out tomorrow and then due a week from tomorrow. what have i done taking this class????? i thought i was doing ok until this homework....
Hi Art. First breathe. You can do this. Second take it one step at a time. Math is really logical when you get down to it. Three breathe again. Four a question I often ask myself is "Is this going to matter in 10 years?" Yes passing the class matters, but this moment of stressing out about the problems is not going to matter. Five do you review the homework problems in class? If not is that something you can ask the prof about? In my second stats class we actually did the problems the old fashioned way--on the board. I always had to do the "hard" ones because I was bored in the class but it really worked for those problems you didn't understand. Working them out on the board in front of everyone really helped you understand it and the prof was there if we got stuck of course. Six breathe again. Seven know I believe in you. You CAN do this. Kit.
Thanks for this!
