Suppose that a particle starts at the origin of the real line and moves along the line in jumps of one unit. For each jump, the probability is p(0≤p≤1) that the particle will jump one unit to the left and the probability is 1−p that the particle will jump one unit to the right. Find the expected value of the position of the particle after n jumps.

Topic 3 (About CLT and Bayes'Theorem: 10 marks] A particle moves along the line in a random walk. That is, the particle starts at the origin (position 0) and moves either 2 units to the right or I unit to the left in independent steps. If the particle moves to the right with probability 2/3, its movement at the ih step is a random variable X, with distribution P(x+2)-2/3 P(X,-)=13 The position of the particle after 400 steps is the...
