Question:

An urn contains one white chip and one black chip. A chip is drawn at random. If it is white, the “game” is over; if it is black, that chip and another black one are put into the urn. Then another chip is drawn at random from the “new” urn and the same rules for ending or continuing the game are followed (i.e., if the chip is white, the game is over; if the chip is black, it is placed back in the urn, together with another chip of the same color). The drawings continue until a white chip is selected. Show that the expected number of drawings necessary to get a white chip is not finite.
