Probability inequalities
Here we revisit Chebyshev's inequality Proposition 14.1 we used previously. This results shows that the di erence between a random variable and its expectation is controlled by its variance. Informally we can say that it shows how far the random variable is from its mean on average. Proposition 15.4 (Chebyshev's inequality)

Multivariate distributions - University of Connecticut
probability.oer.math.uconn.eduMULTIVARIATE DISTRIBUTIONS Note that it is not always the case that the sum of two independent random ariablesv will be a random ariablev of the same type. Example 11.9. If X and Y are independent normals, then Y is also a normal (with E( Y) = EY and Var( Y) = ( 1)2 VarY = VarY), and so X Y is also normal.
Moment generating functions - University of Connecticut
probability.oer.math.uconn.eduLet us compute the moment generating function for some of the distributions we have been working with. Example 13.1 (Bernoulli) . m X(t) = e0 t(1 tp) + e1 tp= ep+ 1 p: Example 13.2 (Binomial) . Using independence, Eet P X i = E Y etX i = Y EetX i = (pet+ (1 p))n; where the X i are independent Bernoulli random ariables.v Equivalently Xn k=0 etk ...
