Demonstrate: Prerequisite Concepts and Reading the Syllabus

To get the most out of them, you should aim to complete Quercus Modules by Monday. You may retake the quiz components of the modules as many times as you wish.

In the "Demonstrate" components of a weekly module, you will answer questions to demonstrate that you have mastered the basic learning outcomes from the previous week. Most of these questions should be straightforward to answer for students who have fully engaged in the lecture. At times, you may still find them challenging. If you are finding a Demonstrate question difficult, it might help to go back and review your notes from class or read the appropriate section from the CLRS textbook.

This week's demonstrate finishes with questions about probability and expected value. CLRS Appendix C (and your text from your prerequisite statistics course) are useful references.  Please note that “probability density function” in CLRS is typically called “probability mass function” in statistical science courses and textbooks.
