Answer:

E (Y) = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

If a 4-sided die is being rolled repeatedly; and the odd-numbered rolls (1st 3rd,5th, etc.)

The probability of odd number roll will be, p(T) = \frac{1}{2}

However, on your even-numbered rolls, you are victorious if you get a 3 or 4. Also, the  probability of even number roll, p(U) = \frac{1}{2}

In order to  calculate: E (Y); We can say Y to be the number of times you roll.

We know that;

E (Y) = E ( Y|T ) p(T) + E ( Y|U ) p(U)

Let us calculate E ( Y|T ) and E ( Y|U )

Y|T ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{4}

Y|U ≅ geometric = \frac{1}{2}

also; x ≅ geometric (p)

∴ E (x) = \frac{1}{p}

⇒ \frac{Y}{T} = 4 ; also \frac{Y}{U} = 2

E (Y) = 4 × \frac{1}{2} + 2 ×

        = 2+1

E (Y) = 3
