This article explores an alternative method for visualizing expected values in probability theory. It proposes interpreting the expectation of a random variable as the area under its survival curve, which represents the probability that the variable exceeds a certain threshold. The author demonstrates this concept with both continuous and discrete random variables, showing how the area under the survival function yields the same expected value as traditional calculation methods.
