Week 15 · Applied Statistics · HEG Genève

The dress rehearsal

A complete exam paper — six exercises, ninety minutes — taken at home under exam conditions, then corrected together in class. It does not count. It is the most useful ninety minutes of the semester, because it is the only way to find out what the two hand-written sheets need to contain.

🏫 In class: 3 h · lesson ~1 h, then exercises ~2 h 📖 Week 15 ▶ The Lecture button shows the slide outline

By the end of Week 15 you will be able to

Sit a full paper under the real constraints: 90 minutes, calculator, two hand-written sheets.
Find out what your summary sheets are missing, and fix them.
Correct your own paper against the worked solutions and score it.
Arrive at Week 16 knowing exactly which two question types to rehearse once more.

Section 15.1 · The blank test

Take it at home

Planned · Test

90 minutes · six exercises · exam conditions

The paper is distributed on Cyberlearn (and printable from here once written). Sit it in one go, timed, with only your sheets and a calculator.
A workbook field: your score by exercise, entered honestly, so the correction session can target the room's weak spots.

In class

Part 2 · Exercises

4 exercises, worked together

Planned · ~160 min

The second half of the session

When this week is written, each exercise below becomes a form on this page and a slide in the deck, generated from one array so the two can never disagree — and its solution opens when the instructor reveals it in class. Same engine as Weeks 1–2 (exercises.js).

Exercise 1 · Sit the paper 90 min
six exercises, ninety minutes, two hand-written sheets — at home
Exercise 2 · Correct it against the key 30 min
score yourself honestly, exercise by exercise
Exercise 3 · What your sheets were missing 20 min
rewrite them from whatever you had to look up
Exercise 4 · The two archetypes to redo 20 min
chosen from your own score, with fresh numbers

Status → outline only. Nothing here is interactive or counted yet.
