Document Summary

P (x=k) : number success in n trials. K heads in n flips with heads p. Mean and variance of linear combination of independent rv. R red balls in n size populaton. Prob of drawing r red balls in sample size n without replacement. P is small, prob of elementary event happening in given time/space interval. Rv is good for fitting @ of elemtnary events that occur per time or space. Rv x with probability p of success. 1st heads appear on kth coin flip.
