Uniformly at random, break a unit stick in two places. What is the probability that the smallest piece is $\leq 1/5$?
Dividing the unit stick in 3 pieces at random, we have
It is eviedent that the three sticks can be identified as follows:
$U=min(X,Y)$
$V=1-Max(X,Y)$
$Z=|X-Y|$
The probability that the minimum is Greater than $\frac{1}{5}$ is the probability that all 3 sticks are greater than $\frac{1}{5}$
Say
$$\mathbb{P}\Bigg[min(U,V,Z)>\frac{1}{5}\Bigg]=\mathbb{P}\Bigg[U>\frac{1}{5},V>\frac{1}{5},Z>\frac{1}{5}\Bigg]$$
Now given that $V>\frac{1}{5}$ is equivalent to $max(X,Y)<\frac{4}{5}$ the area results to me $$(0.8-0.4)^2=0.16$$
Which is the resulting intersection of the following 3 areas
Thus the requested probability is its complement to 1
$$ \bbox[5px,border:2px solid red] { \mathbb{P}\Bigg[min(U,V,Z)\leq\frac{1}{5}\Bigg]=1-0.16=0.84 \ } $$
Hint: Let $X$ and $Y$ be the coordinates of a point in the unit square. Draw a picture and shade the region where one piece is less than $\frac 15$. You should have the outer border of the square plus a region following the main diagonal. Evaluate the area of the shaded region. The region where the smallest piece is less than $\frac 15$ is the same as the region where at least one piece is less than $\frac 15$.
