1. Mind the Gap

Author

Bannon, Thomas J. and Bradley, Robert E.

Abstract

If you break a stick at two random places, the probability that the three pieces form a triangle is 1/4. How does this generalize? To answer this question, we give a method for finding the probability that n randomly chosen points in a given interval fall within a specified distance of one another. We use this method to provide solutions to generalized versions of three popular probability problems.
