Problem Statement
This archive keeps the full statement, math, and original media on the page.
Given \(n\) and \(k\) two positive integers we begin with an urn that contains \(kn\) white balls. We then proceed through \(n\) turns where on each turn \(k\) black balls are added to the urn and then \(2k\) random balls are removed from the urn.
We let \(B_t(n,k)\) be the number of black balls that are removed on turn \(t\).
Further define \(E(n,k)\) as the expectation of \(\displaystyle \sum _{t=1}^n B_t(n,k)^2\).
You are given \(E(2,2) = 9.6\).
Find \(E(10^6,10)\). Round your answer to the nearest whole number.
