Jay has $500 in the bank when he decides to try a savings experiment. On each day i ∈ [1..30], Jay flips a fair coin. If it comes up heads, he deposits i dollars into the bank; if it comes up tails, he withdraws $10. How many dollars should he expect to have in the bank after 30 days? Please begin by describing the probability space.
