... If we let x = Bob’s arrival time and y = Mary’s arrival time, then their respective arrival times will define a point in a unit square in the (x,y) plane. (Here, “unit” == the one hour from noon to 1pm.) Note that every point (x,y) in this unit square is equally likely to occur. Suppose that x = 0, ...

... Here is an examples: Suppose a coin is flipped some N times. For any given k {1, 2, …, N}, let xk = 1 if the k’th flip is heads, and let xk = 0 if it is tails. Let x denote the average of these values, this as defined via (11.17). Thus, x can take any value in the set {0, N1 , N2 ,. . . , 1}. Acc ...
