Relating the CDF to the probability density

samedi 30 août 2014

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

If ##X## is any random variable defined on ##[0,\infty]## with continuous CDF ##F_X(t)##. Prove that ##E(X)=\int_1^\infty (1-F_X(t)) dt##.

.

2. Relevant equations







3. The attempt at a solution

I am not sure how to go about this. I think double integration can be used to prove it, but I don't want to go down that path. Is there another which I can prove this. Thanks.
