Abstract :
Quantum mechanics is a relatively new branch of physics as compared to the other branches. Many of its concepts are a bit confusing, which is quite obvious, because it completely destroys the classical intuitions of physicists as well as students. But some of its concepts have a classical mechanical analogy and one such concept is the concept of expectation value of observables or operators in quantum mechanics. In a way it is related to the concept of centre of mass in classical mechanics. So, in this paper, first, a review of this concept and its correspondence with centre of mass and later the reason behind the naming of this concept is discussed in brief.

Key-Words / Index Term :
Expectation value, Weighted average, Centre of mass
