Expected value of a random variable requires that the random variable can be repeated in experiment indefinitely. If the random variable can only be repeated finite times, e.g. once, there is an inadequacy of the expected value principle for a decision maker.

What does it mean if you get a negative number when you calculate for percent error?

Depending on whether you subtract actual value from expected value or other way around, a positive or negative percent error, will tell you on which side of the expected value that your actual value is. For example, suppose your expected value is 24, and your actual value is 24.3 then if you do the following calculation to figure percent error:[percent error] = (actual value - expected value)/(actual value) - 1 --> then convert to percent.So you have (24.3 - 24)/24 -1 = .0125 --> 1.25%, which tells me the actual is higher than the expected. If instead, you subtracted the actual from the expected, then you would get a negative 1.25%, but your actual is still greater than the expected. My preference is to subtract the expected from the actual. That way a positive error tells you the actual is greater than expected, and a negative percent error tells you that the actual is less than the expected.


What is the expected value of the standard normal distribution equal to?

The expected value of the standard normal distribution is equal to the total amount of the value. It is usually equal to it when the value works out to be the same.
