Expected time to find a Delawarean

The State of Delaware sports 3 representatives in the U.S. Congress, out of a total of 541 voting and non-voting members. Based on this, we might expect, on average 3 in every 541 Midshipment to be from Delaware.

(*The number is probably even higher than this, based on the vice president and the general quality of people who grew up in Delaware. If this ratio of approximately 0.55% seems small, compare it to the total population of the state compared to the entire country, which is 917092/315487000, or about 0.29%. Take that, Texas!)

Consider the following algorithm to find a Delawarean midshipman:

def findBlueHen():
    M = chooseRandomMidshipman()
    if M is from Delaware:
        return M
    else:
        return findBlueHen()

Part 1: Write a recurrence to describe the running time of the recursive algorithm. There should be 2 cases, and a probability for each case.

Part 2: Solve your recurrence to determine the expected running time of the algorithm.

Part 3: Part 2 should give you the expected number of recursive calls that the algorithm will make. Call this number of recursive calls n. Use techniques similar to Problem 4 to determine the probability that we have still not found a Delawarean after n recursive calls.
