What level of basic understanding should we assume?

How much of math and stat should we assume that our audience understands? E.g., should I assume they know correlation, variance/standard deviation, and hypothesis testing?

I think the rule should be that any equation needs to be explained. Im going through logistic regression and i think that showing the logit function is valuable, but showing MLE in depth might be overboard other than mentioning that its how the betas are updated and identified. In kNNs, ill show an equation for how euclidean distance and how to calculate a condition probability, then everything else is pseudocode
