It is calculated by summing the product of each possible value of the variable and its probability of occurring.<\/p>\n<p>For a discrete variable, which takes on a finite number of distinct values, calculating the expected value is straightforward. However, when dealing with continuous variables, which can take on an infinite number of values within a given range, the calculation becomes more complex.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Expected_Value_for_Continuous_Variables\"><\/span>Expected Value for Continuous Variables<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to continuous variables, the concept of expected value still applies. Instead of summing up individual values, we integrate over the entire range of possible values weighted by their respective probabilities of occurring.<\/p>\n<p>In mathematical terms, the expected value (E) of a continuous random variable X with probability density function f(x) over the interval [a, b] is calculated as follows:<\/p>\n<p>E(X) = \u222b[a, b] x * f(x) dx<\/p>\n<p>This integral represents the weighted average of all possible values of the continuous variable X.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_FAQs\"><\/span>Related FAQs:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Can_the_expected_value_of_a_continuous_variable_be_negative\"><\/span>1.
