Suppose we flip a fair coin n times. We say that the sequence is balanced when there are equal number of heads and tails. For example, if we flip the coin 10 times and the results are HT HHT HT T HH, then this sequence balanced 2 times, i. e. at position 2 and position 8 (after the second and eighth flips). In terms of n, what is the expected number of times the sequence is balanced within n flips?

Asmall (but heavy) particle placed in a glass of water will follow a zigzag motion because the particle will bounce off of the water molecules it meets. this is called brownian motion. a physicist simulates this on a computer, by varying the distance a particle can travel (called the mean free length), on average, before it collides with a water molecule and assigning the change in motion to be one of 8 directions, each with a similar probability. by running the simulated particle (with the same mean free length) many times she determines that it should take 15 seconds, on average, for the particle to fall to the bottom, with a standard deviation of 1.5 seconds. next she lets a real particle fall through a glass of water and finds that it took 18 seconds. what does she conclude, and why?
