Let us assume a pure random number generator generates a random number between the given range $[0,m]$ with equal probability.
Given $m_1$, let it generate a random number($r_1$) in the range $[0,m_1]$.
Given $m_2$, let it generate a random number($r_2$) in the range $[0,m_2]$.
Now what is the probability that $r_1 + r_2 < K$ ( another number)?
How can I calculate this probability?
