Alright, future engineers!
**Expected Value:** The average outcome from a random event over many trials.
Ex: `E(X) = sum(x * P(x))` (outcome * probability).
Pro-Tip: Key for decision-making under uncertainty & risk analysis!

**Permutation:** An arrangement of items where order *matters*.
Ex: Ways to pick 1st, 2nd, 3rd place from 10 runners: P(10,3) = 10*9*8 = 720.
Pro-Tip: 'P' for 'Position' – sequence makes each arrangement unique!

**Normal Distribution:** A symmetric, bell-shaped probability curve common for many natural phenomena.
Ex: Human heights, measurement errors. Defined by mean & standard deviation.
Pro-Tip: ~68% of data falls within +/- 1 std dev from the mean. Essential for quality control!

**Permutations:** Ways to arrange items where order *matters*.
Ex: Arranging 3 distinct books on a shelf: 3! = 6 ways.
Pro-Tip: Think 'P' for 'Position' – each arrangement is unique!

Alright, future engineers!
The **Central Limit Theorem (CLT)** states that sample means from any population tend toward a normal distribution as sample size increases.
Ex: Average many dice rolls, & their means form a bell curve!
Pro-Tip: This is why Normal Distribution is *so* central to statistical inference!

**Permutations:** Ways to arrange items where order *DOES* matter.
Ex: Arranging 3 books from 5 on a shelf: P(5,3) = 60 ways.
Pro-Tip: Think 'P' for 'Position'! Order matters for unique arrangements.

**Normal Distribution (Bell Curve):** A common symmetric probability distribution where data clusters around the mean.
Ex: Human heights or test scores often follow this shape.
Pro-Tip: ~68% of data falls within 1 SD of the mean!
