Here is some information about grade distributions on the final exam and in the course.

In class on Friday, October 17 I handed out some notes about sample spaces for continuous random variables, and writing expectations as integrals over sample spaces. Those notes had a number of small typographical errors (nothing really serious that I've found yet) and some infelicitous typesetting. Here is a version with those problems fixed.
