Hi all,
Would like to know what method, or distribution to use when solving a problem like this:
I start from level 0. There is a probability p chance to drop to level -1 and a (1-p) chance to increase to level 1.
The levels range from level -n to level n. When it reaches level -n or level n, it resets back to 0 on the same cycle.
How do I calculate the percentage of landing on each level (not counting the reset), assuming I continue running this infinitely? Is there any theorem or formula I can use?
Thanks!
