This assumes that "p" is a uniform probability; that the likelihood that one packet is marked is independent of whether its neighbours are marked.  A mechanism that refers specifically to marking consecutive packets breaks that assumption.

Reno's actual behaviour depends more accurately on the relationship between the interval between RTTs containing at least one mark, and the actual RTT.
