Technical English For Communication Engineering Expectations and Moments Expectations, or expected values, are simply probabilistic averages of random variables (or functions of variables) in an experiment. We begin with the case of a single random variable, after which generalization to the multivariate case is simple. When g (X) = X2 , we have (2.3) which is called the second moment, or mean-square value of X. Often this is denoted by . (To pursue the mechanical analogy, is the moment of inertia of the r
