Brownian Motion as a limit of Simpler Models. Sheldon Ross - Introduction to Mathematical Finance. Expression for probability of positive increments.

I am going through the book - An Introduction to Mathematical finance by Sheldon Ross in which Brownian Motion is expressed as the limit of simpler models.

I do not understand how the expression for the probability of positive increments: $p = \dfrac{1}{2}(1 + \dfrac{\mu}{\sigma} \sqrt \Delta)$ came. Would really appreciate hints regarding the origin of this expression.
