we had combined venue with sc2101
which was taken by jennifer jarmon this sem
and paulin was being sucha meanie
ps: oh 2101 not openbook ? look at my 3209children ! they are all sooo happy cos its openbook
ps: (talking to the 3209people) oh you know children, 2101 has got 1compulsory essay, 20shortanswer and 1moreessay ! (turning to 2101people) see my 3209 only got 2essays, still got choice ! next sem take 3209 okay
shes uber cute la hahaha advertising her mod
stats was sucha nervewrecking experience
so linear regression did come out for the compulsory question
and i just followed the format on the handout
and sampling question
so when it came to a choice of question 2 or 3
i was quite confident i could do 2
but i felt i didnt have much to say
and i looked at 3
there was contingency table
and i just had to use gamma or kendall's tau-b
plus i could talk about multivariate analysis
so i decided to do 3
and so i started on the contingency tables
and i pinned down all the concordant and discordant pairs
and my values were damn weird
and when i read the question again
i realized the contingency table was not arranged in order
so whatever i did for the last20mins were wrong
and i cancelled the whole page and started doing it again
this time i had a proper value
and i embarked on tau-b
after u did everything i realized that my tau-b had a sig of 0.463
like totally insignificant
and i was in a state of panic
how could it ever be insignificant during exams
and i tried recalculating everything and failed
so i gave up and stoned 3 of the remaining 5mins
suddenly at the 4thmin i realized i forgot to square root the sigmasquare
and when i square root it
it totally became significant 0.0003
and because of this shit i didnt have much time to analyze the multivariate
just mentioned briefly
PANIC MUCH !
i thought i was gonna fail damn bad
30percent of my overall grade would be gone hahaha
how awesome is this man
anyways lunched with shahfi and xiuping
and madrush for soci of edu
which sucked equally
and im megatiredandsleepy, my contacts damn dry they are gonna fall off and ive got a megaheadache
cant wait for this to end seriously ):
