Mathematical versus Psychological Expectation

Mathematical expectations are formed at a given time t by averaging the projected outcomes of random variables under different scenarios (with different probabilities), given an information set available at the time t. Psychological expectations are loosely defined and need not be formed by implicit scenario averaging.
