Is there a question?
 


What does this equation state?

As presented the statement is meaningless. Presumably E means mathematical expectation. However x is undefined, as are all the symbols on the right hand side.
 


And as well, x doesn't even appear on the right side.
 


That x over there is flat-out annoying. I'd delete the whole thread if I had privs.
