Let $P = (\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$ be a D1159: Probability space such that
(i) $E \in \mathcal{F}$ is an D1716: Event in $P$
(ii) $I_E : \Omega \to \mathbb{R}$ is an D2796: Indicator random boolean number on $P$ with respect to $E$
Let $n \in \{ 1, 2, 3, \ldots \}$ be a D5094: Positive integer.
Then \begin{equation} \mathbb{E} I^n_E = \mathbb{P}(E) \end{equation}
