Hi guys,
I was reading about random walks and i encountered one step of a proof which i don't know how to derive in a mathematically rigorous way.
the problem is in the attached file and S is a random walk with X_i as increments, X_i =
{-1,+1}
I know that intuitively we can switch the indices to obtain the second equation from the first but how do we prove it rigorously?
EDIT: btw, I am just looking for hints, not the entire solution. i think one of the possible hints is that the X_i's are i.i.d. but i can't think of a way to use this
