In a recent paper, Neuts, Rauschenberg and Li [10] examined, by computer experimentation, four different procedures to randomly partition the interval [0,1] into m intervals. The present paper presents some new theoretical results on one of the partitioning schemes. That scheme is called Random Interval (RI); it starts with a first random point in [0,1] and places the kth point at random in a subinterval randomly picked from the current k subintervals (1
