If so I have a few questions, are you only considering heads or does 10 tails count as one of these streaks. If we get 11 heads in a row does that count as 2 streaks of 10, counting 1-10 and 2-11. What is the variance of this expected value? How are you determining the expected value of this event in the first place?
I called it a rough example for a reason. You did goad me into using Google for 8 seconds to find the thread i mentioned earlier, though:
