How about some morning discreet math problems kids

Let X and Y be independent random variables. Prove that: V (X +
Y ) = V (X) + V (Y ).
V (X+Y ) = E[(X+Y )2]��E[(X+Y )]2 = E[X2+2XY +Y 2]��(E[X]+
E[Y ])2 = E[X2] + E[2XY ] + E[Y 2] �� E[X]2 �� 2E[X]E[Y ] �� E[Y ]2.



Answer
Hence we
have E[X2] �� E[X]2 + E[Y 2] �� E[Y ]2 = V (X) + V (Y ).


True story when i was taking discreet math I told my professor the very first day that I preferred to do my math out in the open and not discreetly he didnt think that was funny needless to say it was a longgggggggg semester

Being a bit of a math geek, I've always loved this one.

Isnt that the truth hahaha

I always hated most of discreet math. I never minded any other part of math. Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Multivariable Calculus, etc... all fine. Discreet mathematics ugh no thanks.

Yes I agree I am the manager of Hardware support for a fairly large school district and i always questioned my counselor/ advisor about having to take discreet math the standard answer was well your in computers and you need this I would always say yeah If i was a carpet layer i might could use this but hardware support come on lol

My daughter used to laugh every time I told her that I took discrete math in college. She thought I was trying to put one over on her.

But yes, I TRIED the dicrete joke when I didn't do my homework once. Told the professor that I was trying to be discrete about my homework, and was so successful that I couldn't find it this morning. My professor was Dr. Fu - he hated me.

It'd be just like a discrete math professor to try to teach spelling right about then ... Sometimes, they get all confused about what they're supposed to be teaching like that.

AP Calc in high school, then no math in college (thank you AP credit) All ways did well in math, but never was IN to it. Same with Chem.

Now biology classes? Pretty interesting once you got past the utter boredom of Bio 101.
