Talk:Expected value

Deleted text:
Similarly, in computer science, the expected value of X is defined as
- <math>\operatorname{\mathbb{E}}[X] = \sum_i iP(X = i)<math>
where X is an algorithm with different, weighted subroutines, and i is a particular algorithm path.

In general expectation is what is considered the most likely to happen. A less advantageous result gives rise to the emotion of disappointment. If something happens that is not at all expected it is a surprise. See also anticipation.--Jerryseinfeld 01:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Since this has been removed, why does Disappointment redirect here? Quandaryus 09:18, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
- Fixed the redirect to point to expectation. Ben Cairns 03:46, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC).
