Check out the clarifications on algebra

Jim,
These clarifications refer to Paper 1. I was wondering about Hypothesis Testing (i.e. Paper 2) – it is suspended from the syllabus. The normal distribution is still there as far as I can see but the person I was helping had never seen the tables for the normal distribution.
Regards,
J.P.
