I am trying to understand conceptually what does the following give me or tell me:
$$int f(x) cdot g(x) , dx$$
where $f(x)$ is any continuous function of $x$ and $g(x)$ is the probability density function for a random variable, for example a normal distribution's PDF is:
$$ g(x) = frac1 {2 pi sigma^2} expleft(frac{- (x - mu)^2 }{ 2 sigma ^2}right) $$
I understand the integral of a PDF gives me the CDF. So:
$$int_{-infty}^0 g(x) , dx$$
Gives me the probability of $x$ being less than $0$. However, what happens when you multiply $g(x)$ by another function $f(x)$ and take the integral? I heard it gives you the expected payoff assuming $f(x)$ is a function of payoffs and you take an integral from -infinity to +infinity. This, if true, I conceptually understand. sum of payoffs times the probabilities is the expected value of whatever game you are playing.
I start getting confused when the boundaries of the integral are not $pm infty$. I'm not sure in that case what integral conceptually means. For example:
$$int_{-infty}^0 f(x) g(x) , dx$$
What does that tell me?

Suppose $g$ is the pdf of random variable $X$, then
$$E[f(X)|X in A]= frac{int_A f(x)g(x) , dx}{int_A g(t) , dt}$$
Hence $$int_A f(x) g(x) , dt = Pr(X in A) E[f(X)|X in A],$$
it gives you the product of the conditional expectation of $f(X)$ given that $X in A$ and the probability that $X$ is in $A$.
I think $E[f(X)|X in A]$ is a more interesting quantity, and I would divide your integral with $Pr(X in A)$ to recover it.

Another way to look at this integral is through the random variable transformation point of view. You can think of $Y=f(x)$ as a new random variable, and your integral is the expectation (mean) $E[Y]$ of the new variable $Y$.
Let's build the probability density function of the new variable $Y$. Unfortunately, we can't derive an analytical expression. We'll have to use a more complex, integral form of it.
What is the probability that $Y$ will have values between $y$ and $y+dy$? We look at all $x$ where $y<f(x)<y+dy$ and add up their probabilities:
$$g_y(y)dy=int_x mathbb1_{y<f(x)<y+dy} g(x)dx $$
Next, we simply integrate over all values of $Y$:
$$E[y]=int_yyg_y(y)dy$$
Since $int_y$ runs through all possible $y$, it's the same as running the integral through all possible $x$.
Just pause for a moment and agree with me...
Now that you agreed with me you'll see that:
$$E[Y]=int_xf(x)g(x)dx$$

Suppose $g$ is the pdf of random variable $X$, then
$$E[f(X)|X in A]= frac{int_A f(x)g(x) , dx}{int_A g(t) , dt}$$
Hence $$int_A f(x) g(x) , dt = Pr(X in A) E[f(X)|X in A],$$
it gives you the product of the conditional expectation of $f(X)$ given that $X in A$ and the probability that $X$ is in $A$.
I think $E[f(X)|X in A]$ is a more interesting quantity, and I would divide your integral with $Pr(X in A)$ to recover it.
