  • Answer

An up-right path between two lattice points PP and QQ is a path from PP to QQ that takes steps of 1 unit either up or to the right. A lattice point (x,y)(x, y) with 0≤x,y≤50 \leq x, y \leq 5 is chosen uniformly at random. Compute the expected number of up-right paths from (0,0)(0,0) to (5,5)(5,5) not passing through (x,y)(x, y).
