So in 1991 mitsubishi released, for sale in the USA, exactly 2000 galant vr4's. After I was spotted in my gvr4 at an intersection by another gvr4 owner, I pondered on what the odds were of running into another gvr4 within the same model year, numbered series, at a traffic light in the U.S., at the same time.
I'm hoping someone who has better equation writing skills and an understanding of statistics can help.
I collected two other necessary variable values.
# of cars in the us: 250,000,000
# of intersections with traffic lights: 350,000
We are also assuming that all 250,000,000 cars are currently at 1 of 350,000 intersections, and that out of 250,000,000 2000 cars are 1991 mitsubishi galant vr4s.
(To simplify further we could assume there are 714.3 vehicles at each intersection, but I'd rather not, if possible)
I know that it's complex but it's eating a hole in my brain.
Please help, and thanks for the time spent reading my post.
