Question

Let [ilmath]X\sim[/ilmath][ilmath]\text{Nor} [/ilmath][ilmath](\mu,\sigma^2)[/ilmath], then:

• [math]\mathbb{E}\big[\ \vert X-\mathbb{E}[X]\vert\ \big]\eq \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}\big( \vert x-\mathbb{E}[X]\vert\!\ f_X(x)\big)\mathrm{d}x[/math]
  • [math]\eq 2 \int_\mu^\infty\big( (x-\mathbb{E}[X])\!\ f_X(x)\big)\mathrm{d}x[/math] - check this, hopefully reduces from here!
