If any of the random variables is replaced by a deterministic variable or by a constant value (), the previous properties remain valid considering that and, therefore, .

If is defined as a general non-linear algebraic function of a random variable , then:

Some examples of this property include:

*
*
*
*

The exact value of the expectation of the non-linear function will depend on the particular probability distribution of the random variable .
