In the summer of 2013, Operations Analyst Paul Erford (of the Marathon Petroleum Company) contacted Dr. Ryan Rahrig, Assistant Professor of Statistics at Ohio Northern University, asking him to look at a probability problem that had arisen in his work. Dr. Rahrig forwarded this request to Dr. Laurence Robinson, Associate Professor of Statistics at Ohio Northern University. Together Dr. Rahrig and Dr. Robinson determined the nature of solutions to this type of probability problem. In this talk we will discuss this consulting project, which we feel can be used as a valuable teaching tool for the mathematical statistics majors at our University.
