Class summary: Wednesday, 2/19

I started by giving a motivation for the normal approximation, the particular form of the "bell curve function" phi(x), and the appearance and significance of the terms mu and signa in the formula. I next discussed the concept of a confidence interval in the S/F trial model, and computed several examples of such intervals. I intend to wrap up Chapter 2 on Friday with an application of this concept to polling problems.
