Question: A smart city integrator in San Francisco is analyzing traffic patterns and observes that 6 autonomous vehicles arrive at an intersection at random times during a 10-minute window. Each vehicle independently chooses a 2-minute interval (possibly overlapping) during the window: [0,10), and we are to compute the probability that all 6 vehicles arrive within some continuous 2-minute subinterval of [0,10), assuming uniform and independent arrival times.
