A prisoner is trapped in a cell containingdoors. The first door leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after days鈥 travel. The second leads to a tunnel that returns him to his cell after days鈥 travel. The third door leads to freedom after day of travel. If it is assumed that the prisoner will always select doors and with respective probabilities and ., what is the expected number of days until the prisoner reaches freedom?
Suppose that X and Y are both Bernoulli random variables. Show that X and Y are independent if and only if Cov(X, Y) = 0.
