Assignments
Note: You may work in groups, but you must write your own solutions in your own words. For assignments requiring computer programming, include the code and make sure the code is adequately commented so that it can be understood by others. Report results of computer exercises cleanly -- do not just print out everything that appears on the screen. "CB" refers to exercises from Casella and Berger.
