In a small pond there are eleven lily pads in a row labeled
through
. A frog is sitting on pad
. When the frog is on pad
,
, it will jump to pad
with probability
and to pad
with probability
. Each jump is independent of the previous jumps. If the frog reaches pad
it will be eaten by a patiently waiting snake. If the frog reaches pad
it will exit the pond, never to return. What is the probability that the frog will escape being eaten by the snake?
