HW1 Solutions Page

After grading, I selected from amongst the better homeworks to post the solution below. The student or students that had their homework chosen received 1 bonus point after curving for having their homework selected. If you were chosen and would rather your homework not be used as the solution let me know and I will choose someone else's homework and they will receive the bonus point instead. The only changes I made were to convert the names listed in the homework files to SJSU student. No one solved problem 3 convincingly. The solution below does have the intuitively correct answer, but not a strong argument for it. The solution set below could also be strengthened by giving the reduced `chi^2` value from curve fitting and then saying based on the `chi^2` distribution, the likelihood of seeing that value.
