Expected value
Mean value of a random variable
E(X) = Σx•p(x)
Mathematical representation of the Expected Value of a Discrete Random Variable
E(X) = ∫(from -∞ to +∞) x•f(x)dx
Mathematical representation of the Expected Value of a Continuous Random Variable
E(aX + bY + c) = aE(X) + bE(Y) + c
Linearity of Expectation
E[g(X)] = Σg(x)p(x) or ∫ g(x)f(x) dx
The expected value of a function g(X)
Represents the long-run average or balance point of the distribution.
What is the physical meaning of Expectation?
Multiply each x-value by its probability and sum.
