Need help with expected value of probability distribution
Ok. I gave it another shot but I don't seem to be able to come up with a reasonable solution. \begin{equation} \frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi Dt}}\int_{-\infty}^\infty x e^{-\frac{(x-t)^2}{4Dt}} dx=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi Dt}} \left( \int_{-\infty}^\infty (x-dt) e^{-\frac{(x-dt)^2}{4Dt}} dx - dt...- andresthor
