Suppose we have infinitely many boxes and the probability of anyone box is non-empty is p.
Now if we randomly choose m boxes from them, line them up and name them as box 1, box 2,..., box m. Then for given n and k (k<n<m), what is the probability that there exist a set of n consecutive boxes that we can find k or more non-empty boxes in it?
Anyone know how to approach this question? Thanks.
