A Series of Random Variables

This post’s title is dedicated to my probability professor, Professor de Veciana. You’ll find out why later.

I finally saw the work I did on the solar car team polos for real! Here’s a picture of me wearing one of them (photo taken by me):

This week is the last week to buy Girl Scout cookies!  My inventory:

  • 4x Thin Mints
  • 2x Caramel DeLites
  • 2x Lemonades

To prepare for Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day, I prepared a brochure which I sent off to Professor Hallock.  Since his MacBook Pro couldn’t do duplex, we had to print them the classical way: While I stand next to the printer in the faculty room, I make sure we put in the paper correctly and call him to tell him to print.  As I was doing that, my probability professor came in.  It so happened that he is here to copy the midterm we’re going to take Tuesday.  Without looking at the test, I stepped out, closed the door, and waited for him to finish.  In a University of 50,000 people, the probability of such awkward student-faculty encounters approaches nil.
