solutions for all odd numbered problems plus a large number of solutions for even numbered problems. Of the 624 exercises in Statistical Inference, Second Edition, this manual gives solutions for 484 (78%) of them. There is an obtuse pattern as to which solutions were included in this manual. We assembled all of the solutions that we had from the first edition, and filled in so that all odd-numbered problems were done. In the passage from the first to the second edition, problems were shuffled with no attention
