Cartesian Skepticism

1 Given a deck of 52 cards, only consider the color black and red. Shuffle the cards. Define that a group is a sequence of same-color cards. For example, Red/Black/Black/Black/Red/Red is an array of 3 groups. Q: What is the expected number of groups? A: Consider a simple case of 2 cards. If they have the same color, the \(E\) will be 1. \(E\) will be 2 if the 2 cards have different colors.
