...why do I care if the null hypothesis is rejected? Is it really going to affect my life if it is rejected due to a bad sample mean, and a type I error occurs? Is it any sweat off my back if the 95% confidence interval is not accurate for 95% of samples?

The answer is no, and thus I believe I'll skip my stat final tomorrow(today? 8am, whatever you want to consider it). I don't need the 40%.

Meh...this class(prob/stat II) is easier than the first one(prob/stat I)...me and those CDF's never got along very well. I still just really don't care, so I'm just not gonna go.

Yeah, I'll go right on remembering all these stupid formulas because they'll be very important as I pump gas for the rest of my life.

I'm certainly not going to pass if I skip a test worth 40% of my grade. I was just making a delirious office space referrance.

I's a comp sci major. People like me exist to make programs so that I never have to know how to do things like that.

I live in Oregon. The only way I could know how to do that is to get a job pumping gas. Otherwise some other poor bastard has to pump my gas for me :evil:

Stupid full service law.

I live in Philly...right next to stupid dirty jersey. It cracks me up when I see someone from jersey who can't pump their own gas.

Jersey sucks.
