Let X be a random variable that takes on nonnegative values and has distribution function F(x). Show that

Let X be a random variable that takes on nonnegative
Hint: Integrate by parts. Illustrate this result by calculating E(X) by this method if X has an exponential distribution F(x) = 1 − e−λx for x ≥ 0, and F(x) = 0 otherwise.

E(X)=(1-F(x))dz . 0
