If a Coin Flip has a Distribution of 60:40, is it still considered a Random Walk?

A random walk is a mathematical concept where each step is determined randomly, typically with an equal probability of moving in either direction. In the case of a fair coin flip, there is a 50:50 probability of getting heads or tails, which is a classic example of a random walk.

Answer: Yes, a coin flip with a distribution of 60:40 is still considered a random walk.

However, even if the distribution deviates slightly from 50:50, it can still be considered a random walk. In our example of 60:40, while it indicates a slight bias toward one outcome, it doesn’t eliminate the element of randomness. The outcome of each flip is still determined by chance, and over a large number of flips, you would expect the distribution to converge toward the expected probabilities (50:50 for a fair coin).

Hence, a Coin Flip of Distribution 60:40, would be a Random Walk.
