Your turn! Bonus Point opportunities

Exercises

  1. Invent a problem on conditional probability or independence and share it with your classmates (0.5% course grade bonus)
  2. Find a mistake in your classmates' solutions (0.5% course grade bonus)

Class Project

Students in ECE302 Spring 2013 have the opportunity to earn up to a 3% bonus by contributing a Rhea page on a subject related to probability. To pick a subject, simply write your name next to it. Your page will be graded based on content as well as interactions with other people (page views, comments/questions on the page, etc.). The number of links to other courses and subjects will also be taken into account: the more the merrier! Please do not simply copy the lecture notes and do not plagiarize. Read Rhea's copyright policy before proceeding.

Topic Number Topic Description Student Name/nickname
1 Something related to generating random variables Name
2 Something related to Poisson random variables Name
3 Something related to Exponential random variables Name
4 Something related to Gaussian random variables Name
5 Something related to the Estimation of random variables Name
6 Automatic music composition project Name
