A smaller bucket with capacity 1 (unit of volume) is used to fifill a larger bucket with
capacity v (units of volume). A farmer successively draws water from a well using the smaller bucket and poors the content in the larger bucket.
Suppose the successive amounts of water taken out of the well form a sequence of independent uniform over [0, 1] random variables.
(a) On average, how many times will the farmer have to draw water out of the well to fifill the larger bucket if its volume is v = 1?
(b) Repeat for v = 2.
