3.4 Functions of random variables. Assume that the locations of an incident and a response unit are independently, uniformly distributed over a rectangle with dimensions X0, Y0 (see Exercise 3.1). The sides of the rectangle are defined parallel to directions of travel. If the incident and response unit locations are (X1, Y1) and (X2, Y2), respectively, the travel distance is D = |X1 - X2| + |Y1 - Y2|
