- EX 2.3 pumps of gas stations describes an experiment to determine the number of pumps in use at two six-pump gas stations.
- Define random variables (rv’s) as follows:
- X= the total number of pumps in use at the two stations.
- Y= the difference between the number of pumps in use at station 1 and station 2.
- U= the maximum number of pumps in use at the two stations.
- If the experiment results in ω=(2,3):
- X((2,3))=2+3=5, so the observed value of X is x=5.
- The observed value of Y is calculated as:
- The observed value of U is:
