Description:
Alice plays the following game, loosely based on the card game “21”.
Alice starts with 0 points, and draws numbers while she has less than K points. During each draw, she gains an integer number of points randomly from the range [1, W], where W is an integer. Each draw is independent and the outcomes have equal probabilities.
Alice stops drawing numbers when she gets K or more points. What is the probability that she has N or less points?
Example 1:
Input: N = 10, K = 1, W = 10
Output: 1.00000
Explanation: Alice gets a single card, then stops.
Example 2:
Input: N = 6, K = 1, W = 10
Output: 0.60000
Explanation: Alice gets a single card, then stops.
In 6 out of W = 10 possibilities, she is at or below N = 6 points.
