Expected number of stops


Consider an elevator in a building with N floors above the ground floor. If the number of people entering an elevator on the ground floor is a Poisson random variable with mean 12, and if each person is equally likely to get off at any floor, independently of the others, compute the expected number of stops that the elevator will make before discharging all of its passengers.
