33.7.1 Mathematical Expectation

Core idea

Over many rounds, how much you take home per round on average is the probability-weighted mean, the expectation E(X) = Σxᵢpᵢ

Module goal. Sum up a random variable with two numbers: where it lands on average and how much it swings, paving the way for the sample numbers in statistics
