Keep support and assumptions visible

Every task prints the table, density support, paired observations, histogram bins, or sampling assumptions needed to reproduce the result.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Calculate from a complete finite joint PMF.

Worked example

What should be checked first?

Verify support and total probability.

Support and normalization determine valid sums or integrals.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Label support and units.
