Turned out it is simper than I thought actually...I just had to find the probability of at least one successful event in the 10 seconds, like you said in the 2nd post, and that is 1-P(No successful event) = 1-(1-0.1)^(3+1/3) (since there are 3+1/3 trials in 10 seconds), which is around 0.29 and...

I have the following problem: A trial of an experiment can yield a "successful" event which lasts for 10 seconds with probability 0.1. The experiment is repeated every 3 seconds. If it yields a successful event while the 10 seconds of a previous one still haven't expired, it will just renew the...

simple and beautiful. thank you.

That is an interesting topic, I am too, interested in such algorithms, as using calculator for some simple or not so simple calculations is a distraction for what can be a fluent flow of thoughts. Anyway, a little contribution from me: my father showed me this little trick and I have not to...
