To scale an expected value, calculate the expectation for a single unit and then multiply it by the total number of units. This relies on the linearity of expectation, which holds regardless of whether the units are independent, provided the individual expectations are defined.
Conditions: The expectation for a single unit is known or calculable.; The number of units is fixed and finite.
