Definition: Let $X$ be an $n \times 1$ random vector. Then, the expected value of $X$ is an $n \times 1$ vector whose entries correspond to the expected values of the entries of the random vector:

\[\label{eq:mean-rvec} \mathrm{E}(X) = \mathrm{E}\left( \left[ \begin{array}{c} X_1 \\ \vdots \\ X_n \end{array} \right] \right) = \left[ \begin{array}{c} \mathrm{E}(X_1) \\ \vdots \\ \mathrm{E}(X_n) \end{array} \right] \; .\]
