If you break a stick into three pieces, what is the probability that they can form a triangle?

P=n/s
=3/3
=1

I am not sure what you denote by n and s in this formula, but the answer is less than 1 = 100%. Keep in mind that three sticks will form a triangle if the sum of the lengths of the two short ones is larger than the length of the longest one.
