 #MLBook #expectation #expected-value #machine-learning #statistics Let a discrete random variable $$X$$ have $$k$$ possible values $$\{ x_i \}_{i=1}^k$$. The expectation of $$X$$ denoted as $$\mathbb E[X]$$ is given by, \begin{align} \mathbb E[X] & \stackrel{\textrm{def}}{=} \sum_{i=1}^k \left[ x_i \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_i \right) \right] \\ & = x_1 \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_1 \right) + x_2 \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_2 \right) + \cdots + x_k \cdot \textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_k \right) \end{align} where $$\textrm{Pr} \left( X = x_i \right)$$ is the probability that $$X$$ has the value $$x_i$$ according to the pmf. The expectation of a random variable is also called the mean, average or expected value and is frequently denoted with the letter $$\mu$$ . The expectation is one of the most important statistics of a random variable.
