The document discusses key concepts in probability and statistics covered during the 4th week, including:
1. Bayes' theorem, which defines how to calculate conditional probabilities and is useful for "flipping" conditional probabilities.
2. Random variables and different types of probability distributions (discrete, continuous, joint) that describe the probabilities of random variables.
3. Mathematical expectations, which define the average value of a random variable, and variance/standard deviation, which measure how spread out values are.
4. Theorems on expectation, variance and standardized random variables. Examples are provided to illustrate concepts like probability distributions, conditional probabilities, and functions of random variables.

4th Week (3/29)
1. Bayer’s Theorem
2. Random Variables
3. Probability Distributions
4. Mathematical Expectations (intro)
2. What would you do…..
IF a medical test (tumor marker) inform you that you
got an incurable disease (i.e. Pancreases Cancer)
1.Cry
2.Use your remaining time for some important thing
3.Invent a new iphone
5. Baye’s Theorem: When do we need?
• Why do we care??
• Why is Bayes’ Rule useful??
• It turns out that sometimes it is very useful to be able to
“flip” conditional probabilities. That is, we may know the
probability of A given B, but the probability of B given A
may not be obvious.
8. Las Vegas
777(Jack Pot) => 1 million dollars (1)
Others: Bam => 0 dollars (0)
How often do you get “1”?
How much do you put money to get
1 million dollars?
21. Discrete Joint Distribution Function
Probability Function (it’s like a point)
Understand the difference between
Distribution Function (it’s like an area)
23. Marginal Distribution Function
We call them the marginal distribution functions, or simply the distribution
functions, of X and Y, respectively.
Density Function
