It is calculated by adding up all the values in a data set and then dividing by the number of values. For example, the average of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 is 3.<\/p>\n<p>**Expected value**, on the other hand, is a mathematical concept used in probability theory. It represents the average outcome of a random variable over a large number of trials. The expected value is calculated by multiplying each possible outcome by its probability of occurring and then summing up these values. It can also be thought of as the long-term average outcome of an experiment.<\/p>\n<p>In simple terms, **average** is a measure of the central tendency of a data set, while **expected value** is a prediction of what will happen in the future based on probabilities.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Average_and_Expected_Value_are_Related\"><\/span>How Average and Expected Value are Related<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Though average and expected value are not the same conceptually, they are often related in certain scenarios. For instance, in a simple case where all outcomes are equally likely, the average and expected value will be the same.<\/p>\n<p>In more complex situations, such as when dealing with probabilities or random variables, the average and expected value may differ. This is because the expected value takes into account the likelihood of each outcome, while the average does not.<\/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_What_is_the_formula_for_calculating_the_average_of_a_set_of_numbers\"><\/span>1.
