A particle moves on a circle through points marked clockwise as 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. At each step, the particle has an equal chance of moving one step clockwise or counterclockwise. a) Find the limiting probabilities of being at each of the points. b) Assume that at each step, the probability of moving one step clockwise is now 0.99. Find the limiting probabilities.
