Suppose you have a hat with 14 slips of paper numbered 1 through 14 in it and a fair 4-sided die. You draw a slip of paper from the hat at random; let H be the random variable representing the number on the paper. Then you roll the die until you get a 3; let D be the random variable representing the number of times you roll the die. What is E[H + D]?
