(Other blogs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

In Lecture 22, we talked about the standard normal Gaussian and how it can be used to compute probabilities for any normally distributed variable. The underlying method was the subject of a quiz given at the end of the lecture. We also had a little bit of time to start talking about two dimensional random variables.

Please let me know if the material of the quiz is clear now, or if we need to spend more time on this. Feel free to write comments directly below.

Action items for students (to be completed before next lecture)
