formatting solecisms
Please. Look at this edit and the one before it.
 * incorrect: R=2
 * correct: R = 2
 * correct: R = 2

Note that variables are italicized and digits and punctuation, including parentheses, are _not_ italicized in this context. I fixed a large number of these in this article. Also, proper spacing is needed.

I also deleted hundreds of instances of code like this:
 * $$\Pr(X=2)$$ ,

changing them to look like this:
 * $$\Pr(X=2)$$.

There is a seeming attempt to italicize this whole thing. That has no effect on what the reader sees and would be wrong if it did have an effect. It misleads newbies into thinking everything in mathematical notation should be indiscriminately italicized.

Please see WP:MOSMATH to find out how to do things like this correctly. Michael Hardy (talk) 22:52, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
