e-value of a distribution: coin flips
Bill flips a coin that can land heads or tails, and you assign equal probabilities to each, with all flips mutually irrelevant. Bill will flip the coin until he sees a consecutive sequence of tails, tails, tails. What is the e-value of your distribution of the number of flips until this happens?
For example, if Bill flips HHTTHTHTTT, then the number of flips until TTT, equals ten.
What is this?
