There wasn’t a good visual for what we are talking about today, so how about a joke instead?

Well from the views it looks like my function of a random variable example was a big hit. Hopefully we’re clearing a lot of the confusion up now that we are looking at some examples of how to solve these and we can get a better grasp of how this works.
