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.
