Why Is the Expected Value of cos(t)sin(t) Zero?

Hello,

Just came across this that:

E[cos(t)sin(t)] = 0

the expected value of the product of cos(t)sin(t) is 0. However, I am unable to convince myself that is the case. Can anyone help me understand why this is so?

Many thanks,

Luc
 
I suppose the probability space is [itex][0,2 \pi)[/itex] with normalized Lebesgue measure? In that case, what it means is
[tex] \frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} \sin(t) \cos(t)\,dt = 0[/tex]
