    Uniform Distribution Expected Value

    Homework Statement If X~(-5,5) find E[||X|-2|] Homework Equations If a variable is distributed uniformly then f(x) = 1 / (b-a), with a mean of (a+b)/2. If x~u, then y~u. The Attempt at a Solution I think I should change the variable, so y = |X| - 2, and then find E[|y|]. So if I...
