probability theory - A more advanced proof for showing mathbbE[X]=intinfty0mathbbP(Xgeqt)dt

I want to show that for a non-negative random variable X:Ω[0,+) in a probability space (Ω,F,P):



E[X]=0P(Xt)dt




I know that I can replace P(Xt) with P(X>t) and then I'd have:



0(1FX(x))dx=0xfX(y)dydx=0y0dxfX(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.
