Final exam

The final exam will be a three (3) hour in person examination. The focus of the final will be a bit heavier on the second half of the course, though we expect you to know material from the entire course and are likely to include a few questions from the first five or so weeks of the course.

Practice exams

Because this is a fairly new course, we do not have as many practice exams as in the past. We will provide a few practice finals, and we will also provide a list of problems from Blitzstein and Hwang's book that will provide reasonable practice for a final.

• Spring 2024 final
  

• Practice problems from Blitzstein and Hwang's Introduction to Probability: 4.3, 4.38, 5.9, 5.19, 5.35, 6.10, 6.16, 9.2, 9.10.
  Note that these likely are going to be harder than the actual final exam, but reviewing them will be helpful.
