Homework Statement
i'm having trouble coming up with an equation for this problem
[/B]
Mulder and Scully agree to meet at the FBI lobby sometime within a period of N minutes (e.g. 40 minutes).
Each of them may show up anytime during that period (with a uniform distribution).
If Scully arrives and Mulder isn't there, she will wait for X minutes and then leave.
If Mulder arrives and Scully isn't there, he will wait for Y minutes and then leave.
Neither of them waits beyond the end of the N minutes period.
Write a function that gets , N X and Y and computes the probability that Alice and Bob meet. The
function's inputs will be:...
Plot your result for X=5, Y=7, 10<=N<=60.
Homework Equations
that is the question
The Attempt at a Solution
p =time^2-(1-t1)^2/2-(1-t2)^2/2[/B]
as time goes up exponentially the probability increases. as it does if their individual times increase.
