Solution:
 
The particle makes it to x = 0 and y = 0 with equal probability.  Of those that make it to x = 0 half will reach y = 0 with x<0 and half with x>0.  Therefore the probability of having positive x when y = 0 is 0.75.

Answer : 0.75


Solution: The particle makes it to x = 0 and y = 0 with equal probability. Of those that make it to x = 0 half will reach y = 0 with x<0 and half with x>0. Therefore the probability of having positive x when y = 0 is 0.75.
