If the uniform distributions have the same width w, the result is a triangular distribution, symmetric about its mean, on the support [a+c,a+c+2w]. The sum of two independent, equally distributed, uniform distributions U 1 (a,b)+U 2 (a,b) yields a symmetric triangular distribution on the support [2a,2b].
The problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution on the integer interval [,] from a sample of k observations is commonly known as the German tank problem, following the practical application of this maximum estimation problem, during World War II, by Allied forces seeking to estimate German tank production.
A number of changes have been introduced since the introduction of the first rating uniform, notably the removal of the blue jacket in 1890, and the replacement of bell-bottoms by flared trousers in 1977. In 1997 there was a major standardisation programme, meaning that all ratings now wear the same ceremonial uniform for the first time in ...
