In the referenced page, the problem is probably mis-stated, because, as stated, the probability is zero for N > 1.
This kind of exercise should probably not be a mainspace page. I would suggest a subpage under an appropriate math resource, for "Problems." The problem would be given in a section on that page, with, then, a link to a subpage "Solution by Abd" -- if I were the author. That would be an attributed page. It could contain errors. How to handle that can vary, but the identification of error is a critical part of the educational process. I'd be happy to assist.
This is important to understand. Attributed text, sections, subpages need not be neutral. That is what makes it possible to build sophisticated content on WV, including original research.

Now that we have everyone's attention, I'd like to see if anyone would care to comment on the substantial topic at hand, namely solved problem pages on Wikiversity.
To recap, I am thinking of setting up one or more pages of math problems solved by Maxima, a symbolic computation system. I am imagining that there would be a main page and a page for each solved problem. Each problem page would have a brief discussion and then a solution with formulas, code, and graphics as needed. Is that something that is suitable for Wikiversity?
To make it more concrete, I am thinking that the solved problem pages will look something like this article (I didn't write the article).

Thanks for any light you can shed on this question.
