A particle executes an unrestricted simple random walk on the line with p=0.7 and q=0.3. Its position at time n is represented by the random variable Xn, n = 0, 1,...; Xo = 0. (a) Calculate the values of the following probabilities. (i) P(X5 = -2) (ii) P(X6 = 2) (b) Calculate the probability that the particle returns to its starting point for the first time after 8 steps. (c) After the particle has been moving for some time, it is observed to be located at the point +3. (i) Calculate the probability that the particle will ever return to the origin from the point +3. (ii) Calculate the probability that starting from the point +3, the particle will visit the point +8 without first visiting the origin.
