The discussion addresses unanswered statistics questions from various forums, starting with a question about the normal distribution of the difference between two population variables. It concludes that without the assumption of normality for the populations, one cannot claim that the difference is normally distributed. The thread also explores another question regarding the probability of a circle's center being inside a triangle formed by three random points on its circumference, arriving at a probability of 1/4. Additionally, it examines the expected value and variance of service times for a queue at a post office, confirming that these can be calculated using properties of independent random variables. The overall focus is on clarifying statistical concepts and providing solutions to unresolved queries.

Time for part II of this thread. :)

A big thanks to chisigma for all the time he has put into this useful collection of problems and solutions. I don't want this thread to disappear because it's closed so hopefully we can figure out a way to showcase it and other outstanding threads permanently.
