Re:Do not confuse a random variable with its distribution by eru on Wednesday June 26, 2024 @03:33AM (#40797308)
Expected values are a completely separate topic, and should not be confused with random variables.

Not all probability distributions over real numbers have expected values. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cauchy_distribution

Many probability distributions over something other than the real numbers have expected values.
