Success probability of an n-step process with n independent step probabilities
A process is defined as a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end. There are a wide range of studies involving di erent types of processes such as in the case of engineering, business, biology, and information theory. This paper is focused on a new type of process, call...

A process is defined as a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end.

In our model, there are exactly n steps that lead to the desired goal Xn such that a success in step i leads to step i + 1.
