In Lecture 26, we defined independence for continuous random variables, and we justified the definition by showing that it is equivalent to the definition we used in the context of set-theoretic probability theory. We then covered the topic of "functions of a random variable". More specifically, we explained and illustrated a two-step procedure to find the pdf of a random variable Y defined as a function Y=g(X) of another random variable X.

Enjoy your spring break!
