Default Electron radius-quantum

can anyone help me derive the expected value of the electron radius in the form:

<r> =a/2*(3n^2-l(l+1))

either:
explicit form for radial wave function w/ laguerre poly's or using the reduced wave eqn.
or point me to a place/text where i can go over the derivation myself.

thanks
