So, here:[FONT=MathJax_Math]E[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main][[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]Y[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]][/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]=[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Size1]∑(1/X)[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math][/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]⋅[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math]p[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main](1/x)[/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Math][/FONT][FONT=MathJax_Main]
For x=0 I would set to zero because the problem does give me that info (I didn't post that detail - sorry) However, what I am confused about is how to actually find the sum since I don't know how many terms there are(it is a sum from x=1 to x=n+1)
Since X is binomially distributed, can I say 1/X is as well? I currently have an expected value of (n+1)(p/x), but how do I get rid of that x?
