Consider a birth-and-death Markov chain on {0, 1, 2,...} with transition probabilities given by 2 P0,1 = 1, Pi,i-1 + Pii+1 = 1, Pi,i+1 = (+) Pi,i-1, i>1. Assuming Xo = 0, calculate the probability of the event {Xn> 1 for all n > 1}. Hint: You may use the following result without proof: 1 72 m2 m=1 6
