I want to show that for a non-negative random variable X:Ω→[0,+∞) in a probability space (Ω,F,P):
E[X]=∫∞0P(X≥t)dt
I know that I can replace P(X≥t) with P(X>t) and then I'd have:
∫∞0(1−FX(x))dx=∫∞0∫∞xfX(y)dydx=∫∞0∫y0dxfX(y)dy=∫∞0yfX(y)dy=E[X]
And I know that both sides of the equation can be ∞. I established the relation for X being an indicator function, and now I want to establish it for X as a simple non-negative function and then for non-negative measurable functions.
I'd appreciate any help.
