WARNING: The program I use to create these web pages (latex2html) somehow botches the combinatorial coefficients ("n choose k" somehow comes out as "k choose k"). The postscript files should be correct, but if you're looking directly at the web page keep this in mind

The first five handouts constitute a review of probability. The main point of the first two is the formulas for expectations and variances of linear combinations, in particular the mean and variance of the sample mean. The third handout is a review of discrete distribution such as the Binomial and Poisson distributions. The fourth handout discusses properties of continuous distribution such as densities, cumulative distribution functions, means, and variances. The fifth handout discusses how to find the density of a general transformation of a continuous random variable.
