Let $X$ be a binomial random variable with parameters $n$ and $p$. Show that $$ E\left[\frac{1}{X+1}\right]=\frac{1-(1-p)^{n+1}}{(n+1) p} $$

Theoretical Exercises
Let X be binomial random variable with parameters n and p. Show that the PMF of X can be computed by starting with p_X(0) = (1 - p)^n, and by using the recursive formula p_X(k + 1) = p/(1 - p) * (n - k)/(k + 1) * p_X(k), where k = 0, 1, ..., n - 1

Let X be a binomial random variable, that is, X ~ Bin(n, p), where n ∈ ℕ ∪ {0, p ∈ (0, 1). Using only the definition of the expectation, show that E(X) = np. Hint
