Slide errata 2 L5 p.61–63 · Slide error
Inconsistent sample sizes (a sample of 10,000 people vs 100 samples of 100,000 people, more than the city's 9 million) and an SD of 80 cm for adult height.
How the app teaches it: Fix the numbers in tutor examples; don't reuse the slide's figures. The arithmetic (SE = 80/√10000 = 0.8) is correct.
Confidence intervals
L5 p.56 · Slide error
'Normal kurtosis range = -3 to +3' conflicts with p.55, which gives normal kurtosis = 3 (raw kurtosis can't be negative).
How the app teaches it: Present the range as excess kurtosis (kurtosis − 3).
Normal vs non-normal
