Wow, I’m really tired. If I didn’t have a quiz in statistics tomorrow, I’d go back to house ten with some caffeine and see crazy eric from my angle again. But alas, I feel now like the radioactive zombies from the sci-fi channel movie I just watched while learning everything we’ve learned so far in statistics. Oh, how I wish that class was just a stack of copy center notes on the first day and a pass/fail exam on the second day. Then the rest of the classes could be dedicated to something useful to computer engineers. For instance, anything at all other than Poisson random variables. Poisson random variables mean ‘fish’ random variables.

“What’s the expected value of this random variable?”
“Beats me. It’s random.”
“No, it isn’t.”
“You just said it was.”

The world of statistics and the world of computer programming define ‘random variable’ differently. Why then must the engineers take this class? Argh.
