📝 Summary

Followed the Expectation chapter from Stanford's "Probability for Computer Scientists" course.

Appropriate markdown + LaTeX used to explain the concept.
Added:

  • Clear definitions and properties of expectation with mathematical notation
  • Step-by-step calculations of expected values for dice rolls and other examples
  • Interactive visualization of how expected values change with distribution parameters
  • Comparison between expectation (mean) and mode with visual explanations

📋 Checklist

  • I have included package dependencies in the notebook file using --sandbox
  • If adding a course, include a README.md
  • Keep language direct and simple.

Add Expectation Notebook
c400c65 
This notebook introduces the concept of expectation in probability, detailing its definition, properties, and applications. It includes interactive visualizations for various probability distributions, calculations for expected values, and demonstrations of key properties such as linearity and the Law of the Unconscious Statistician (LOTUS). The content is structured to enhance understanding of expectation's role in decision-making under uncertainty.
