Understanding formulas for $E(X∣X < c)$
$begingroup$
I have $E(X∣X < c)$ where $X$ is a continuous random variable and $c$ is a given positive real value.
According to this question this is equivalent to:
- $E[X|X<c]=int_{-inf}^{c}1-frac{F(x)}{F(c)}dx$
On this other question we have both:
- $mathrm E(Xmid X < c)=frac{mathrm E(Xcdotmathbf 1_{X < c})}{mathrm P(Xgt c)}$
- $E(X|X<c) = frac{int_x x f(x) I(x<c) dx}{int_x f(x) I(x<c) dx}$
Yet, starting from the definition of conditional expectation, I couldn't get to show any of the three equations.
I am particularly interested in the first one.
Can you help me understand how to get it? (And or the others)
Thanks.

The first one looks almost right when you integrate by parts. The third one is a roundabout way of integrating from$-infty$ to $c$ for both the the numerator and the denominator. The second seems to have an error for the denominator.

Ps. Ensure that you use the definition for expectation conditioned over an event, rather than a random variable.
