exercises for Week 5, Sept 16 to Sept 20

The exercise list for Ch 2 is more or less 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18, 19, 21, 29, 32, 33, 41, 42, 43, 52, 54, 55, and we plod on, for Weeks 4 and 5, with these. Keywords are CLT, LLN, Lindeberg, the delta method, and results will be used here and there in the rest of the course.

For Week 5, work through as much as you can also for Statistical Stories v.7 (how Belgium went from 0-2 to 3-2, football) and v.6 (how exciting was it, really, minute by minute, Norway-Denmark women's handball, November 2022)? Data for Story v.6 are on the website. Another dataset there has match results for 117 matches, where the point is to have a Poisson dependence model: results (x,y) have a positive correlation. Sigurd does 2.39, proving the Stirling formula via the Poisson and CLT.
