Where do you think that formula comes from?
Of course everything starts with limits. What does that mean?</p>

<p>What is the formula for the average value of x^3+x^2+x+12 from 1 to 6? How do you figure it out without an integral?</p>

You said they didn’t have anything to do with each other. That’s absurd.</p>

<p>

One definitely needs to know calc to know some types of statistics.</p>

<p>Really, you don’t know what you are talking about.</p>
