Law of Iterated Expectations (LIE):
E(Y) = E[E(Y | X)]
E[E(Y | X)]
take the expectation with respect to Y given X
take the expectation with respect to X
E(X) = E[E(X | Y)]
In the discrete case
E(X) = ?[E(X | Y = y_i) ? p(Y = y_i)]
E(Y) = ?[E(Y | X = x_i) ? p(X = x_i)]

Step 1

First, we need to understand the Law of Iterated Expectations (LIE). LIE states that the expectation of a random variable Y can be found by taking the expectation of the conditional expectation of Y given another random variable X. Mathematically, this can be Show more…
