Agenda (1 min.) Slide 3. Exponential random variables (2 min.) Define and note that knowing f(x) gives all the information about the random variable. Slide 4 Board question (work 9 min. discuss 4 minutes) Slide 5 Uniform (2 min) Define. Uniform because constant in its range Slide 6 Normal (5 min) Formula is shown. Note, symmetry about mean. Show applet: vary mu = location, sigma = shape Jen Slide 7. Table question (work 8 min., discuss 4 min) Play with applet. Encourage them to do part (d) both with the pdf and cdf Discussion: just get the class answers to a,b,c --will discuss on next slide For (d) show applet using cdf. Slide 8. Normal probabilities (4 min.) Note: Consistently will use Z for standard normal RV Slide 9. Manipulating random var (5 min) Paused slide Acknowledge this is tricky Emphasize need to use cdf Go through solution carefully before showing solution on second half of the slide Slide 10. Board question (work 10 min., discussion 10 min.) Discussion: Only go through the ones that gave people trouble Slide 11. Histograms (2 min) Brief: Note studio will be about histograms Just that there are two types and R can make them Vertical scales are different Look the same for equal width bins, not otherwise. Slide 12. Board question: Finish class doing this
