In Lecture 35, we looked at the first and second order statistics of a sum process in general. There was also a quiz where we re-emphasized how easy it is to compute the mean of a random variable with a symmetric pmf/pdf. (The trick is to guess the answer m, and then show that E(X-m)=0).


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

  • Read Sections 2.1.1-2.1.6 of Prof. Pollak's notes on random variables [1]. These notes are outstanding, and you will most likely find that they provide an excellent review of the material in preparation for the final.
