Re: car parking probability
Hi juan;
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Hi juan;
Your welcome. This is a standard book problem and there is also a formula for this.
