6. Expectation of a Random Variable
Discrete distribution
Continuous distribution
E(X) is called expected value, mean or expectation of X.
E(X) can be regarded as being the center of gravity of that distribution.
E(X) exists if and only if
E(X) exists if and only if Whenever X is a bounded random variable, then E(X) must exist.

7. The Expectation of a Function
Let , then
Let , then
Suppose X has p.d.f as follows:
Let it can be shown that

8. Example 1 (4.1.3)
In a class of 50 students, the number of students ni of each age i is shown in the following table:
If a student is to be selected at random from the class, what is the expected value of his age
Agei 18 19 20 21 25 ni 22 4 3 1

If are n random variables such that each exists, then
For all constants
Usually
Only linear functions g satisfy
If are n independent random variable such that each exists, then

11. Example 2 (4.2.7)
Suppose that on each play of a certain game a gambler is equally likely to win or to lose. Suppose that when he wins, his fortune is doubled; and when he loses, his fortune is cut in half. If he begins playing with a given fortune c, what is the expected value of his fortune after n independent plays of the game?

13. Properties of the Variance
Var(X ) = 0 if and only if there exists a constant c such that Pr(X = c) = 1.
For constant a and b,
Proof :

If X1 , …, Xn are independent random variables, then
If X1,…, Xn are independent random variables, then

17. Moment Generating Functions
Consider a given random variable X and for each real number t, we shall let The function is called the moment generating function (m.g.f.) of X.
Suppose that the m.g.f. of X exists for all values of t in some open interval around t = 0. Then,
More generally,

18. Properties of Moment Generating Functions
Let X has m.g.f ; let Y = aX+b has m.g.f Then for every value of t such that exists,
Proof:
Suppose that X1,…, Xn are n independent random variables; and for i = 1,…, n, let denote the m.g.f. of Xi. Let , and let the m.g.f. of Y be denoted by . Then for every value of t such that exists, we have

19. The m.g.f. for the Binomial Distribution
Suppose that a random variable X has a binomial distribution with parameters n and p. We can represent X as the sum of n independent random variables X1,…, Xn.
Determine the m.g.f. of

20. Uniqueness of Moment Generating Functions
If the m.g.f. of two random variables X1 and X2 are identical for all values of t in an open interval around t = 0, then the probability distributions of X1 and X2 must be identical.
The additive property of the binomial distribution
Suppose X1 and X2 are independent random variables. They have binomial distributions with parameters n1 and p and n2 and p. Let the m.g.f. of X1 + X2 be denoted by .
The distribution of X1 + X2 must be binomial distribution with parameters n1 + n2 and p.

21. Example 4 (4.4.8)
Suppose that X is a random variable for which the m.g.f. is as follows:
Find the mean and the variance of X

22. Solution

23. Properties of Variance and Covariance
If X and Y are random variables such that and , then
Correlation only measures linear relationship.
Two random variables can be dependent, but uncorrelated.
Example: Suppose that X can take only three values –1, 0, and 1, and that each of these three values has the same probability. Let Y=X 2. So X and Y are dependent.
E(XY)=E(X 3)=E(X)=0, so Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) – E(X)E(Y)=0 (uncorrelated).

24. Example 5 (4.6.11)
Suppose that two random variables X and Y cannot possibly have the following properties: E(X)=3, E(Y)=2, E(X2)=10. E(Y2)=29, and E(XY)=0
