There are n items in a box labeled H and m in a box labeled T. A coin that comes up heads with probability p and tails with probability 1 − p is Hipped. Each time it comes up heads, an item is removed from the H box, and each time it conies up tails, an item is removed from the T box. (If a box is empty and its outcome occurs, then no items are removed.) Find the expected number of coin flips needed for both boxes to become empty.
