assume you have the the normal distribution where the mean is 0 and standard deviation is 1. shown as N(0, 1). N(0, 1) will, with a 50% chance give you a negative value and 50% positive. N(0, 1) will also give 0 as the mean and median.

Now we want to create the "absolute normal distribution", which would work in the same way as the normal distribution, except that this distribution calculates the absolute value of all outputs, so the absolute normal distribution would be simply | N(0, 1) |

Now, what is the 1) mean and 2) median of the absolute normal distribution, if we give it the 'normal' mean of 0 and the 'normal' standard deviation of 1.

Hint: question 1) is much easier than question 2)

Why cant we have a philosophy board?
A lot of things that don't belong here could go there. Like important truths like this:

>Nobody in this world is good except Jesus. We are all flawed sinners with no hope of being good. Trump said all Mexicans are rapists. This is true. We are all rapists. Nobody is a virgin. Nobody is innocent. Not the elderly nor the infants. This is absolutely true. To be good is to control. Free will dictates that we are Gods. This is a satanic belief. There is one God, ruling from outside of this world. All the perceived forces in this world are derivative. Jesus perfectly transcended those worldly forces and was one with them because he worshiped the source of the forces, not the forces themselves which are derivative. We are not good because we worship the world and its forces instead of the outside source of them.

Going to write Exam FM on the 24th. I have got all of the concepts down. I just need to sit down and do problems for several hours (over the next three days).

I'm trying to get an internship at Travelers (Hartford, CT) and pass Exams FM and P. Also, the books by Finan are high quality, in my opinion.
