Assignment #1: Assigned 1/1, Due 1/10.

Your assignments for this course will be  on MyStatLab. It is your responsibility to register (course ID is davies91555) and familiarize yourself with MyStatLab by 1/10. Starting on 1/10, I will begin putting graded assignments on MyStatLab. The inability to initialize your account, log on to the system, operate the software, or monitor the site for assignments are not acceptable reasons for missing an assignment deadline. I will make no allowances for network outages. If you wait until the last moment to complete an assignment and then encounter a network outage or computer failure, the fundamental problem was procrastination, not the hardware failure.
