We choose randomly a subset $mathit S$ of size 25 from the set ${ 1,2,...,100}$ , what is the expected value of number of Consecutive numbers in $mathit S$?
Consecutive numbers in $mathit S$: is a pair ${ i,i+1}$ where i$in$$mathit S$ and i+1$in$$mathit S$.

it is:$frac{binom{98}{23}}{binom{100}{25}}$ as Parcly mentioned below,that is the probability of any consecutive pairs not only 1 and 2.If we multiply that by number of possible consecutive pairs we will get the expected value we are looking for.@JMoravitz

it is:$frac{binom{98}{23}}{binom{100}{25}}$ as Parcly mentioned below,that is the probability of any consecutive pairs not only 1 and 2.If we multiply that by number of possible consecutive pairs we will get the expected value we are looking for.@JMoravitz

Linearity of expectation is the key. There are 99 consecutive pairs, each one having a $frac{binom{98}{23}}{binom{100}{25}}=frac{25×24}{100×99}$ chance of being selected. Thus the expected number of consecutive pairs is $frac{25×24×99}{100×99}=6$.
