May I ask how come that E[\bar{X}^{2}] = \frac{\sigma^{2}}{n} + \mu^{2}?

SUMMARY
The expected value of the squared sample mean, denoted as E[\bar{X}^{2}], is calculated using the formula E[\bar{X}^{2}] = \frac{\sigma^{2}}{n} + \mu^{2}. This relationship is derived from the properties of random variables, specifically the equation E[Y^2] = Var(Y) + \mu_Y^2. In this context, the mean of the sample mean is represented by μ, while the variance is expressed as σ²/n, where σ² is the population variance and n is the sample size.
