A bucket has three marbles.  Two are black and one is white.  You keep drawing until you get a while marble.  Every time you draw a black marble you put it back into the bucket and also add a new white marble to the bucket.  The random variable X denotes the total number of marbles you have drawn from the bucket. Find P(X = k) as a function of k. Compute E(X).
