F:=P∘X−1 on (R,B(R)) defined by
F(A)=P∘X−1(A)=P[X∈A].
The distribution function of X is
F(x):=F((−∞,x])=P[X≤x]. Note that the letter "F" is overloaded in two ways.
An application of the Transformation Theorem allows us to compute the abstract integral
E(X)=∫ΩXdP as
E(X)=∫RxF(dx), which is an integral on R.
More precisely,
E(X)=∫ΩX(ω)P(dω)=∫RxF(dx).
Also given a measurable function g(X), The expectation of g(X) is
E(g(X))=∫Ωg(X(ω))P(dω)=∫Rg(x)F(dx).
Instead of computing expectations on the abstract space Ω, one can always compute them on R using F, the distribution of X.
