Wald's Identity | Simple Random Walks | Stochastic Processes

In this video, we take a long hard look at Wald's identity, which is a result allowing us to simplify a sum of random variables, where the number of terms in the sum is itself random, under a few conditions. We can use this result to answer previously inaccessible questions about simple random walks!
