Notation shorthand for probability Take
\begin{equation} P(X = 1) = \frac{1}{6} \end{equation}
We can write this in short hand like:
\begin{equation} P(X^{1}) = P(X=1) = \frac{1}{6} \end{equation}
\(P\) vs \(p\) Upper case \(P\) for probability mass function (one shot chance), lower case \(p\) for probability density functions (integral)
