Color Switches

Source: Placement test

You are given an urn with 100 balls (50 black and 50 white). You pick balls from urn one by one without replacements until all the balls are out. A black followed by a white or a white followed by a black is "a colour change". Calculate the expected number of colour-changes if the balls are being picked randomly from the urn.
