How to Calculate Expected Value
Expected value is the single most important concept in probability and decision theory. It tells you what outcome to expect on average if you could repeat a scenario infinitely. More practically,…

How to Calculate Expected Value of a Continuous Random Variable
Expected value represents the long-run average outcome of a random variable. For continuous random variables, we calculate it using integration rather than summation. The formal definition is:
