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?

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.

Can any one please explain this problem?
