3 people are to arrive at the same location some time between 3pm and 4pm. They arrive at random times within the hour and only stay for ten minutes. Since they only go one time, what is the probability that they will meet during that hour?

$\begingroup$ How are the times distributed? uniformly? The probability that all 3 will meet at one point in time? $\endgroup$– user2974951Commented Sep 27, 2018 at 12:25

1$\begingroup$ Have you looked at stats.stackexchange.com/questions/15448/… and tried applying it to your case? Instead of a square, since you have 3 people, maybe try a cube? (so for n people, you'd use an n-dimensional unit cube) $\endgroup$– doubledCommented Sep 27, 2018 at 14:07

$\begingroup$ Yes, the probability tahat all 3 will meet at one point in time. $\endgroup$– TheressaCommented Sep 27, 2018 at 14:09
