Mean & Variance

Calculating the mean E(X)

The use of E(X) and E(X2) to calculate the variance Var(X)

(Expectation Algebra)

Knowledge and use of

E(aX + b) = aE(X) + b
Var(aX +b) = a2 Var(x)

Discrete Uniform Distribution

Each event is equally likely to occur.

The Normal Distribution

Properties of Normal Distribution:
Shape of a Normal Distribution curve
Symmetrical about mu
Mode = Mean = Median
Total area under the curve = 1
