TIFR ECE 2022 | Question: 11
A drunken man walks on a straight lane. At every integer time (in seconds) he moves a distance of $1$ unit randomly, either forwards or backwards. What is the expectation of the square of the distance after $100$ seconds from the initial position? Hint: ... sum of independent and identically distributed random variables. $100$ $\frac{\sqrt{300}}{4}$ $40$ $200$ $20 \pi$

Consider a coin which comes up heads with probability $p$ and tails with probability $1-p$, where $0 < p < 1.$ Suppose we keep tossing the coin until we have seen both sides of the coin. What is the expected number of times we would have seen tails? (Hint: the expected number of ... $(1/p.)$ $\frac{1}{p}$ $1+\frac{1}{1-p}$ $p+\frac{1}{p}-1$ $2$ None of the above

TIFR ECE 2019 | Question: 12
Consider an urn with $a$ red and $b$ blue balls. Balls are drawn out one-by-one, without replacement and uniformly at random, until the first red ball is drawn. What is the expected total number of balls drawn by this process? (Hint: Consider deriving an appropriate recurrence.) $\frac{a+b}{a+1}$ $\frac{a+b+1}{a}$ $\frac{a+b}{a}$ $\frac{a+b+1}{a+1}$ $a$
