  2. Reading Quiz What is the following result commonly called: Theorem: Let X be a random variable that takes only nonnegative values. Then for every α >0 , we have Pr[X ≥ α ] ≤ E[X]/ α . (A) Chernoff Bound (B) Markov’s Inequality (C) Chebyshev’s Inequality (D) Wicentowski’s Invariant (E) None of the above

  5. Variance Definition: Var[X] := E[(X-E[X]) 2 ] • measures how far X is from expected value • penalizes large deviations • standard deviation: σ = √ Var[X]

  6. Clicker Question Let X have the binomial distribution. What is Var[X]? (A) Var[X] = ( √ n)/4 (B) Var[X] = n/2 (C) Var[X] = n/4 (D) Var[X] = √ (2 ∏ n) * (n/e) n (E) none of the above

  7. Clicker Question Let X have the binomial distribution. What is Var[X]? (A) Var[X] = ( √ n)/4 (B) Var[X] = n/2 (C) Var[X] = n/4 (D) Var[X] = √ (2 ∏ n) * (n/e) n (E) none of the above

  8. Clicker Question There are 300k workers in Delaware County. The average income is $40k/yr . (Use Markov Inequality, choose the How many can make $100k/yr ? most accurate answer) (A) at most 120k workers (B) at most 196k workers (C) at most 12k workers (D) at most 300k workers (E) none of the above
