5.A random walker starts from the origin and takes steps of length 1 either going to the
left ( x=1 )or going to the right left ( x=+1 ) . The probability of taking a step
to the right or left on the 1st step, 3rd step, 5th step, etc are and respectively. The
probability of taking steps to the right or left on the 2nd step , 4th step, 6th step, etc are
and respectively. Calculate the following:
a) Probability that the random walker is at the position x=0 after six steps. [5 pts]
b) Expectation value of the position of the walker after 2N steps. [5 pts]
c) Second moment of the position of the walker after 2N steps. [5 pts]
