Start from V(X)=E(X2)−[E(X)]2V(X)=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}; with E(X)=0E(X)=0 the square term is 00, giving V(X)=E(X2)V(X)=E(X^{2}).

In the TN HSC Class-12 Business Maths random-variable topic, the variance of a random variable is defined by

V(X)=E[(X−E(X))2]=E(X2)−[E(X)]2.V(X)=E\big[(X-E(X))^{2}\big]=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}.

To prove: if E(X)=0E(X)=0 then V(X)=E(X2)V(X)=E(X^{2}).

Proof.

V(X)=E(X2)−[E(X)]2.V(X)=E(X^{2})-[E(X)]^{2}. …
