老师,可以帮忙解析一下这道题,对应的是哪个知识点?

The conditional expected value of a random variable is best described as the:

  1. expected value of a random variable given an event or scenario.
  2. probability-weighted average of the possible outcomes of the random variable.
  3. weighted average of the probabilities of an event given all possible scenarios.


Solution

A is correct. The conditional expected value of a random variable is the expected value of a random variable given an event or scenario.

B is incorrect because an expected value (not a conditional expected value) is defined as the probability-weighted average of the possible outcomes of the random variable.

C is incorrect because an expected value is not a probability. This answer defines the total probability rule, which is the weighted average of the probabilities of an event given all possible scenarios.

同学你好,

这是条件期望的考点。条件期望即在一定条件下求出来的期望值,也就是A选项所描述的,在一个特定条件(环境)下求出来的随机变量的期望值。

B选项是随机变量的加权平均,其中权重为概率。这是普通的期望值的定义,没有强调在一定的条件下。

C选项是所有概率的加权平均,这是全概率的定义,不是期望的定义。

这个概念和考点都不是很重要,把这道题了解一下就可以。
