Feb 11, 2021 at 8:43	comment	added	user		@hardmath The given link is of course very interesting but it does not address the asked questions, neither do the links inside. Though I agree that it can help to point out the direction (if the asker has a solid background).
Feb 10, 2021 at 23:57	comment	added	hardmath		After a bit of research I chose one of the coupon-collectors Questions that asks about the probability distribution aspect, and which not only has a decent Answer but also links to many other Questions of a similar nature. Of course the expected value problems are easier than working out the probability distributions (after $x$ cards bought), but the OP has done literally nothing to motivate writing out a new Answer.

Feb 10, 2021 at 16:52	comment	added	user		@hardmath OP indeed asks multiple questions. But none of the questions is asked or answered in the alleged "original". I would not complain if the question was closed because of "providing no context". This would stimulate the author to correct it. But the given link certainly will not help him or her to find the correct answers.
Feb 10, 2021 at 16:46	comment	added	hardmath		What you say about not being a duplicate is true, but this is so because the OP asks multiple questions. By itself that is not a fatal flaw (the problems are closely related), but the Question provides no context. It appears to me to be a "pass through assignment". If you like the Question enough, perhaps leave a comment for the new user to provide context, or repost the problem with your own context.
