Observation:
These distributions have the same
|
|
|
form:
|
|
|
|
1. |
Fraction
of laptops that fail catastrophically during
|
|
|
tutorials,
by city
|
|
|
|
2. |
Fraction
of pairs of shoes that spontaneously de-sole
|
|
|
during
periods of stress, by city
|
|
|
| § |
Conclusion:
The distribution arises because the
|
|
|
same
stochastic process is at work, and this
|
|
|
process
can be understood beyond the context of
|
|
each
example
