How to solve that question 4.10?

**Hint:** Let \( p = \frac{x}{x+y} \).

**4.10.** Let \( X \) be a binomial random variable with parameters \( n \) and \( p \). Show that

\[
E \left[ \frac{1}{X+1} \right] = \frac{1 - (1-p)^{n+1}}{(n+1)p}
\]

**4.11.** Let \( X \) be the number of successes that result from \( 2n \) independent trials.

Follow-up Question

Could you explain what was done in more detail, starting from the "or" on step 3, where we have a multiplication [1/(n+1)p] outside the summation? Where did this [1/(n+1)p] come from, and so on?
