📝 Summary

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

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

  • Clear definitions and properties of variance with mathematical notation
  • Step-by-step calculations of variance for dice rolls w/ verification of key properties
  • Interactive visualizations showing how variance affects probability distributions
  • Visual demonstration of the 68-95-99.7 rule for normal distributions
  • Explanation of standard deviation as a more intuitive measure of spread

Checkout the notebook here:

📋 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.

This commit introduces a new notebook focused on the concept of variance in probability. It includes definitions, examples, and interactive visualizations to illustrate how variance and standard deviation affect distributions.
