Question 6: Let n 2 2 be an integer and let ai,a2,...,an be a permutation of the set (1, 2, . . . ,n). Define ao = 0 and an+1 = 0, and consider the sequence do, 1, d2, l3, . . . , Un, Un+1 A position i with 1 i n is called auesome, if ai > ai-1 and ai > ai+1. In words, i is awesome if the value at position i is larger than both its neighboring values. For example, if n 6 and the permutation is 2,5, 4,3, 1, 6, we get the sequence value025 4 31 6 0 position 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 In this case, the positions 2 and 6 are awesome, whereas the positions 1, 3, 4, and 5 are not awesome Consider a uniformly random permutation of the set 1,2,n and define the random variable X to be the number of awesome positions. Determine the expected value E(X) of the random variable X Hint: Use indicator random variables.
