Describe gas diffusion


The random walk model employed to describe gas diffusion can be treated as a binomial distribution similar to coin flips with a 50/50 chance that a particle will move in either the +x or the -x direction.

a) If ten steps are taken, how much more likely is it that the particle didn't move (Δx=0 after 10 steps) compared to the condition where the particle moved ten steps in the +x direction?

b) If ten steps are taken, how much more probable is it that the particle didn't move compared to a condition where the particle ended up 4 steps in the +x direction? Ensure that your steps add up to 10.
