Description
{The process}: We start each step by shaking our bag of mms.
We empty the bag onto a plate.
The m&ms that land with their m showing up are considered to have died and are removed from the plate.
The m&ms without the m showing are considered to have survived the step and are put back into the bag.
The step ends by our putting an additional 10 ``immigrating'' mms into the bag.
We assume that the probability that an mm will land with an m facing upwards is 1/2.
The question: What is the probability distribution for the number of m&ms that are alive at the end of the nth step and how many m&ms should we expect to be alive at the end of the nth step?
