Lecture 12 Blog, ECE302 Spring 2013, Prof. Boutin

Monday February 4, 2013 (Week 5) - See Course Outline.

(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 12, we defined the expectation of a discrete random variable and computed various examples. A formula for computing the expectation of a function of a random variable was also given. Along the way, we encountered the geometric series. Those who do not remember this series can consult the following Rhea pages to refresh their memory: Some Rhea pages about the geometric series. You may also want to bookmark this page containing a list of the most important power series: Table of Power Series Formulas (from Rhea's Collective Table of Formulas).

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

  • Read Sections 3.2 and 3.3 in the textbook.
  • Solve the following problems in the textbook (You will hand your solutions in as part of the fourth homework assignment)
3.11,3.13,3.17,3.19,3.20,3.31,3.34.

Previous: Lecture 11
