Probabilities, t-tests and z-scores

I've just finished exam for the statistics class that I took over the summer semester. In in we learnt about some of the statistical tests that can be run on data to find whether it it significant or not. My preparation for the exam involved going over and over the practice exam that we were given performing the same questions over and over again until they sank in. The test itself was challenging. Most of the other people that I've spoken to about it feel the same. The test had questions on t-tests, z-scores, chi quared, binomial probabilities and distribution curves. By the end of the two hour exam, only two people had left the auditorium after finishing the exam. For me, it was the first exam that I have had to write from start to finish. Now I've just got to wait for the results which should come out in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed!

Looking for a new home

Since being back up on the coast I've been pretty busy. Not, as you would think with my uni summer subject but instead, looking for a new place to live for the coming year. I checked out one place yesterday and have another couple to look at over the coming week. The place I visited yesterday was avertised as a "granny flat". In essence though it was a room under a house with an ensuite bathroom. There were no cooking facilities which was a major bother for me. I'd like to be able to cook dinner there and basically use it like a normal flat. I was told that I'd find out by Sunday if the lady thought that I'd be acceptable but at the moment even though it is private and only $140 a week, without kitchen facilities it's not really what I'm looking for. And so the search goes on.
