Expectations
The expected value of a random variable is the arithmetic mean of that variable. i.e. E(X) = ยต. As Hays notes
Expected Value The expected value of a random variable indicates
defined by E(X) = sum xk p(xk). Interpretations: (i) The expected value measures the center of the probability distribution - center of mass.

If X is continuous the expected value is defined as. E(X) = The definition is AB = BA = I. Thus
