Why do you say "the default option?" I thought the default was without replacement (replace=False).

If think if you underline or bold the terms "empirical distribution" and "probability distribution" it will help to remind readers the difference and relationship between the two, which they could look into to better construct an understanding and refer to more information in the probability chapter/lectures

Is there an outside reference (like maybe the stats book Dan wanted to refer students to for the probability lecture) that explains this a bit more? It's a bit out of context and left field. Like, how did one ascertain these mathematical definitions of the mean and variance?

Is it assumed one would know this if they have already studied/familiar with the Law of Large Numbers? If so, then I guess that reference you mention would rectify the above.

The Probability Distributions paragraph is a bit of a mouthful for someone that may be unfamiliar. Could you possibly offer a simple, anecdotal example to illustrate the meaning of the terms random variables, sample space, and probability distribution after this paragraph? I think having such an example, and directly pointing out which terms are what in the example, could help in comprehending this paragraph.

Just to clarify, you defined variance as σ^2(X) and then said standard deviation is the square root of variance and is σ^2(X). How so? it wouldn't be sqrt(σ^2(X))? Just want to make sure I'm understanding...

FYI: Just a typo but your TOC updates refer to the chapter 10 directory rather than 12.

This looks like a typo resulting in a broken image:

![Chapter 11](../11/Probability.ipynb)

Rather than say a link:

[Chapter 11](../11/Probability.html)

You are absolutely right that the ! is a typeo. The file should be .html instead of .ipynb? Will a rendered html file be in that folder in the built version of the textbook? Asking because I think I made this mistake other places if so...

Yes, you're right. The ambiguity in authoring such things is honestly frustrating.

There are generally three ways about it:

  • Write proper HTML, which will be passed through as-is, and work in the textbook.
  • Write Markdown, which should be fixed up before conversion to HTML.
  • Use a Jupyter Book (Sphinx) helper, which will ostensibly make things easier, (but this markup may be even less natural).

Here's documentation I found.

And so, any of the following would work:

  • <a href="../11/Probability.html">Chapter 11</a>
  • [Chapter 11](../11/Probability.ipynb)
  • [](../11/Probability.ipynb)
  • [Chapter 11](../11/Probability)
  • [](../11/Probability)
  • {doc}`Chapter 11 <../11/Probability>`
  • {doc}`../11/Probability`

That is, all references are relative, and:

  • HTML should presume the full final document path (with .html suffix)
  • Markdown may either refer to the actual file name (including .ipynb suffix) or omit the suffix entirely
  • Sphinx-style references may not include the file suffix
  • Markdown and Sphinx references may omit the link text, in which case it will be derived from the referenced document's full header, (in this case Probability: Mathematical/Theoretical and Computational Approaches).

So! Yes, in short, this would do the trick, (among other options)…:

[Chapter 11](../11/Probability.ipynb)

Goodness, so confusing! Thank you for clarifying! I have pushed the change, so hopefully it works now! Please let me know if other changes are needed

I think so

* edit toc and remove placeholder

* add text

* Edits based on meeting 12/6

* fixed chapter reference
