In probability theory, the expected value is a generalization of the weighted average. Provided that it is finite, the expected value can be interpreted as the long-run average of results from independent repetitions of the same random experiment, as formalized by the law of large numbers.
“I have known him [Micawber] come home to supper with a flood of tears, and a declaration that nothing was now left but a jail; and go to bed making a calculation of the expense of putting bow-windows to the house, "in case anything turned up," which was his favorite expression.”
“He was fash and full of faith that "something would turn up."”
“ἐὰν μὴ ἔλπηται ἀνέλπιστον, οὐκ ἐξευρήσει”
“He hath indeed better bettered expectation than you must expect of me to tell you how.”
“Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.”
“Expect the best. Prepare for the worst. Capitalize on what comes.”
