Hi all,
I've been given a question on an assignment that I'm really struggling with. For some background, the question is based on a Galton Board, where basically a ball falls onto pegs and has a 50% chance to bounce left or right. That's easy to understand and the probabilities are simple. However, the issue I'm having is with the question.
"There are 7 cells at the top of the wall and 15 at the base. The number of cells in each row increases from 7 to 15 and thereafter, the wall is rectangular. There are 20 rows in total."
I need help for how to calculate the probability it will finish in a certain row. The wall being rectangular makes the equation more difficult.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
