Fred the ant is on the real number line, and Fred is trying to get to the point O

If Fred is at 1 then on the next step, Fred moves to either 0 or 2 with equal probability. If Fred is at 2 then on the next step, Fred always moves to 1

Let e1 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 given that Fred starts at the point 1. Similarly, let e2 be expected number of steps Fred takes to get to 0 given that Fred starts at the point 2

Find e1 and e2.

Use a recursive approach to get (e1,e2) = (2,4).

Use this approach to get your answer that's (e1,e2) = (2,4) if this help then your welcome

Step-by-step explanation:

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
