Line 20:

:<math>F_X(y) - F_X(x) = \lim_{\tau \to +\infty} \frac{1} {2\pi}

\int_{-\tau}^{+\tau} \frac{e^{-itx} - e^{-ity}} {it}\, \varphi_X(t)\, dt</math>

Characteristic function can also be used to find [[moment (mathematics)|moments]] of random variable. Provided that ''n''-th moment exists, ''f'' can be differentiated ''n'' times and
