Abstract: We consider the quantum expectation value mathcal{A}=<psi|A|psi> of an observable A over the state |psi> . We derive the exact probability distribution of mathcal{A} seen as a random variable when |psi> varies over the set of all pure states equipped with the Haar-induced measure. The probability density is obtained with elementary means by computing its characteristic function, both for non-degenerate and degenerate observables. To illustrate our results we compare the exact predictions for few concrete examples with the concentration bounds obtained using Levy's lemma. Finally we comment on the relevance of the central limit theorem and draw some results on an alternative statistical mechanics based on the uniform measure on the energy shell.
