    Re: Solve this equation for me

    I dunno man, I just find math to be one of my main weaknesses.

    Like there's bound to be at least ONE class that you don't like and mine just happens to be math.

              I understand. Many of my buddies hate math to death as well =P

              That being said, I'm weak against any subjects that aren't math or computer science.

                  Did you mean E[(Y-X)^2], instead of [E(Y-X)]^2? I tried to solve the latter one.


                  I guess the former one is 1/3.. I could be wrong lol



                  2. 9/19


                  3-1. about .3664
                  3-2. you are expected to lose a quarter
                  Var(X) = 1/48 is correct. And yes [E(Y-X)]^2 is what I was after (the E(X) is its own expression and so E(X)^2 means you are squaring the output), and yes, 1/3 is correct -- nice job!

                  3-1. That answer is way too high
                  3-2. Nope nope

                      Rubix finds this thread as a scapegoat to show off his intellectuality and geniuseses'.

                      High five.

                            I was good at most subjects in school but my weakness is definitely History. I just cbf. Luckily, history is primarily memorization + essays, but it just was not fun for me.


                            I actually can't remember for the life of me what math class I had in 9th grade... I already knew multivariable calc though by 10th grade, and we only had Calc AB senior year lmao. In college, my first math class was supposed to be an augmented Calc BC-style course but I tested out of it and jumped right into vector/multivar calc. Math is pretty dry **** though, and I feel like it gets really impractical after multivar calc. I prefer just being well-versed in math that I would actually use... real analysis courses can suck my cock.

                              3-1. Yep! It's basically a negative binomial distribution.
