random variable can be used instead of a probability function XaY <-> aPx(A)+(1-a)Py(A) for A subset of X. For X = all simple random variables on (a,b) Use the following axioms: * C1: (XaX)=X * C2: (XaY)=(Y(1-a)X) * C3: ((XaY)b(XgY))=X(ab+(1-b)g)Y X a random variable lets you define an expected value of functions on X.
