Probability of a stock with given random variables

  The cost of a stock at the time n is modeled by the random variable X_n. We know that the collection of stock prices is given by: {X_n} from 0 to infinity. The starting price is modeled by the random variable X_0. We also know that P(X_0=200)=1. The price of the stock at the time n depends only on the stock price at time n-1 in the following way: P(X_n = x_n-1 + 1 | X_n-1 = x_n-1) = p, and P(X_n = x_n-1 - 1 | X_n-1 = x_n-1) = 1-p We also know that P(X_n = x | X_n-1 = x_n-1) = 0, for every x not in {x_n-1 - 1, x_n-1 +1}
