A Statistical Approach to Broken Stick Problems
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: Let a stick be broken at random at n-1 points to form n pieces. We consider three problems on forming k-gons with k out of these n pieces, and show how a statistical approach, through a linear transformation of variables, yields simple solutions that also allow fast computation.
