Have you taken any other Statistic classes? Do you know what is covered?

Not going to quote everyone - but thanks everyone for helping me with Cantonese vs. Mandarin. I was given Rosetta Stone - Mandarin (Level I-III) as a gift for Xmas, so we'll see how it goes! :)

not trying to hijack your thread here, however i have the same question but coming from an American. is it considered 'valuable' to be an American in FE whom also speaks Cantonese (Mandarin is mentioned below, but isn't Cantonese more preferable?)

the use of equations below is mind boggling.

you could definitely be right. iirc, i was least confident with this answer. i've never gambled in my life so i know nothing about odds, spreads, etc.

1.) i would choose twice every two years. i read this as my salary is x, and my options are 2x, 3x, and 4x. therefore i would choose 2x due to time-value-of-money, risk of inflation, etc. 2.) $50? 50/50 so should be 2 to 1? 3.) small hand to big hand. 4.) no idea 5.) short JPMorgan...

Sorry. Finals week. :) Thanks - I was just confused of what sort of environment these off-campus programs have. It's also very interesting, as you said, others are located right next to another.
