Foundations of Data Science: Relevant past papers

The most relevant questions are those from 2018/2019/2020. I would suggest leaving the 2020 questions for closer to the exam.

From previous years, there are a few subquestions that are relevant the material of this course.

Confidence intervals:

• 2006p3q10
• 2007p7q10 c) and d)
• 2008p9q12 a) and b)
• 2012p8q4 c)
• 2017p6q8 a)

Random variable generation:

• 2006p7q5 b) and c)
• 2007p7q10 a) and b)
• 2012p8q4 a) and b)
• 2016p8q4 a) i) and iii)

Markov chains:

• 2007p4q5 a), b) and c) (without the time proportions part)
• 2009p4q10 a) (without the positive recurrence part)
• 2010p6q8 a) and in b) find the stationary distribution
• 2017p6q8 b)

General:

• 2008p9q12 c) and d) (do not be afraid of the term control variates)
