Random Variables and Expectation

Discrete and continuous random variables, PMF, PDF and CDF and their properties, normalising a density and reading probabilities, median and expectation, expectation of a function, variance and its shortcut, linearity of expectation with indicator variables (fixed points, coupon collector), the tail-sum formula, joint tables with marginals, conditionals and independence, covariance and correlation with the uncorrelated-but-dependent example, and two solved past questions on a randomly broken stick.

The Five Syllabus Distributions

The syllabus distributions (uniform, binomial, Poisson, exponential, normal) plus Bernoulli and geometric in one table with PMF or PDF, supports and parameter ranges, mean and variance, a diagram of their shapes, recognising each from the wording, binomial probabilities and mode, the Poisson approximation and sums of Poissons, exponential tails, memorylessness and median, the normal density, standardisation with the 68-95-99.7 values and sums of independent normals, uniform interval probabilities, Chebyshev's bound, and two solved past questions.
