Density partition for expectation of a random real number
Formulation 0
Let $X \in \text{Random}(\mathbb{R})$ be a D3161: Random real number such that
(i) \begin{equation} \mathbb{E} |X| < \infty \end{equation}
(ii) $f$ is a D209: Probability density function for $X$
Then \begin{equation} \mathbb{E}(X) = \int^{\infty}_{-\infty} x f(x) \, d x \end{equation}
