A WEIBULL is a . . . ?

Today in class we spent most our time reviewing for the test we're going to have on Wednesday on excel. This is a really big test so study hard for it. The best way to study is to just go into excel and play around with the different functions until you get the hang of them. But remember, there are always different ways of doing something, so try finding the different ways. Also, another way to get good marks is to, of course, listen to Mr.Case in class, because in between his explanations, he gives out little tips that are going to be or could be on the test.
Here are just some of the things that could be on the test. You need to know the basic formulas, like Sum, division, average, count etc. These are called functions. The difference between a function and a formula is that a formula is what you use to come up with the answer to a question. There could be many functions in a formula for example adding, subtracting and multiplying could be functions of a formula. <- * that could be a question on the test. * There are other tricks that Mr.Case pointed out to us like the OVR button on the bottom right hand corner of your page. You can double-click it or press the insert button and it will turn on. That makes your text overlap each other when you are typing and the word you wrote before will be erased and the new word will take its place.

Here's a trick question, that could just be a bonus question on the test: Whats a Weibull ?

Good luck on the test.!
