In Lecture 15, we continued discussing the expectation of a discrete random variable. In particular, we proved the linearity property of the expectation and we showed that the expectation of a constast c is equal to c. There was also a quiz in which you were asked to compute the Expectation of a discrete random variable. Twitter disrupted the lecture slightly, but I trust all of us will make a special effort to concentrate on the task at hand in the future.
