Another Remark on the Alternative Expectation Formula

Students in a calculus-based probability course will often see the expectation formula for nonnegative continuous random variables in terms of the survival function. This alternative expectation formula has a wide spectrum of applications. It is natural to ask whether there is a multivariate version of this formula. This note gives an affirmative answer by establishing such a formula using two different approaches. The two approaches employed in this note correspond to the two approaches for the univariate case.
