Suppose $X$ is a random variable on some probability space $(\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P}), A$ is a set in $\mathcal{F}$, and for every Borel subset $B$ of $\mathbb{R}$, we have $$ \int_A \mathbb{I}_B(X(\omega)) d \mathbb{P}(\omega)=\mathbb{P}(A) \cdot \mathbb{P}\{X \in B\} . $$ Then we say that $X$ is independent of the event $A$. Show that if $X$ is independent of an event $A$, then $$ \int_A g(X(\omega)) d \mathbb{P}(\omega)=\mathbb{P}(A) \cdot \mathbb{E} g(X) $$ for every nonnegative, Borel-measurable function $g$.

Key Concepts

Simple Functions and Approximation

Any nonnegative, Borel measurable function can be expressed as the limit of an increasing sequence of simple functions, which are finite linear combinations of indicator functions. This representation allows one to prove properties for all such functions by first proving them for simple functions, where the calculations are more straightforward, and then extending the result to general functions using limits.

Monotone Convergence Theorem (MCT)

The Monotone Convergence Theorem is crucial in measure theory and integration. It states that if a sequence of nonnegative measurable functions increases pointwise to a limit function, then the integral of the limit function equals the limit of the integrals of the functions in the sequence. This theorem justifies exchanging the limit and the integral when extending equalities verified for simple functions to arbitrary nonnegative measurable functions.

Independence in Probability

Independence describes a situation where the occurrence of one event does not affect the probability of another event. In the context of a random variable and an event, it means that knowing whether the event occurs does not provide any additional information about the distribution of the random variable. This is formalized by the condition that for every Borel set, the joint probability of the random variable falling in that set and the event occurring equals the product of their individual probabilities.
