problem

A counter begins at 0 . Then, every second, the counter either increases by 1 or resets back to 0 with equal probability. The expected value of the counter after ten seconds can be written as mn\frac{m}{n}, where m,nm, n are positive integers and gcd(m,n)=1\operatorname{gcd}(m, n)=1. Find 100m+n100 m+n.
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
A counter begins at 0 . Then, every second, the counter either increases by 1 or resets back to 0 with equal probability. The expected value of the counter after ten seconds can be written as (m)/(n), where m,n are positive integers and gcd(m,n)=1. Find 100m+n.
