Expectations and covariance
Having known the distribution of a set of random variables 
, what one would be typically interested in for real-life applications is to be able to estimate the average values of these random variables and the correlations between them. These are computed formally using the following expressions:
For example, in the case of two-dimensional normal distribution, if we are interested in finding the correlation between the variables ...
