Notes

Extended expectations can be defined for nonnegative random variables; the finite real-valued expectation here requires integrability.

Probability distributionExpected value

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A real probability distribution with finite absolute first moment determines its mean by integrating the identity function.

How to interpret this relation type

Apply a standard functorial or canonical construction whose output is not merely a reduct of the input and is not generally an equivalent presentation of the same object.
