Abstract

The exact distributions of the quotients $$X/Y$$ X / Y and $$Y/(X+Y)$$ Y / ( X + Y ) when $$X$$ X and $$Y$$ Y are independent and triangularly distributed random variables are obtained. These quotients are useful especially in operations research and reliability engineering, and some reliability applications of the results are also given.
