Idea


  • First expected value problem I solved was this
    Now , I took idea from that problem and solved it by converting this problem to that problem .
  • Another way to look at this problem is there are n 1’s and in one move we can make any 1 to 0 . Now the question becomes the expected value of all becoming 0 .
