why is variance so famous that it appears in almost half of the probability textbook? What is this other half of textbook I haven't heard of? |

Understanding $P(X=n)=0$ when $X$ follows a continuous distribution An event having probability zero doesn't mean that it is impossible, more that it will almost never occur. Repeat your experiment and you should almost never get that particular number $n$ again. |

Does there exist a finite fair gamble game with one dishonest coin? It will depend on what is fixed. If you fix $N$ and have the liberty to choose the coin, then yes you can, as my answer shows. However if you have the coin at your disposition and must find $N$, it might not be possible, as shown by Ross. |

Does there exist a finite fair gamble game with one dishonest coin? @jonathan Rich The answer provided by Ross shows that for certain $p$ it can be impossible to do. I take any $N$ and show that you can find a $p$. |

This population will be extinct or not One can show that almost surely, there will be extinction of the population if the mean of the reproduction distribution is less than or equal to $1$, provided $0$ child is possible. Unfortunately i can't type the proof, but it has to do with fixed point of the generating function of the reproduction law. See for example cims.nyu.edu/~csplash/data/notes/2011-24.pdf |

This population will be extinct or not This is a special case of branching process, look out this question for some insight: math.stackexchange.com/questions/295353/branching-process |

$\int \frac{x^3}{\sqrt{2 -x}}dx , \int \cosh^2(x)dx ,\int \frac{x^2 + 1}{x^2 + 2x + 2}dx$ I think you should be having $\cosh(x)\sinh(x)$ in your integration by parts. Also you can use directly $u=\sqrt{2-x}$ to take care of the root in the first one but that is just preference. |

Which is bigger $(n!)^m$ or $(m!)^n$? Which is bigger, $n$ or $m$? |
