A bucket has three marbles. Two are black and one is white. You keep drawing until you get a while marble. Every time you draw a black marble you put it back into the bucket and also add a new white marble to the bucket. The random variable X denotes the total number of marbles you have drawn from the bucket. Find P(X = k) as a function of k. Compute E(X).

Superstitions survey. Are Americans superstitious? A Harris (Feb. 2013) poll of over 2,000 adult Americans was designed to answer this question. One survey item con- cerned the phrase "see a penny, pick it up, all day long you'll have good luck." The poll found that just one-third of Americans (33%) believe finding and picking up a penny is good luck. Consider a random sample of 20 U.S. adults and let x represent the number who believe finding and picking up a penny is good luck.

When you post a picture on social media, it seems like your friends randomly "like" the picture. Independent of the quality or the humor of the photo, there seems to be a 25.7% chance of the picture being "liked" for any given picture. Let X represent the number of pictures you post until one is "liked." (X represents the photo number that is actually liked.) Find: P(X>10)

Consider the following model to grow simple networks. At time t = 1 we start with a complete network with no = 6 nodes. At each time step t > 1 a new node is added to the network. The node arrives together with m = 2 new links, which are connected to m = 2 different nodes already present in the network. The probability II, that a new link is connected to node i is: N(t-1) II¿ = ki - 1 Ꮓ with Z=(k-1) j=1 where ki is the degree of node i, and N(t - 1) is the number of nodes in the network at timet - 1.
