Funny distribution this one, but nmot as funny as the word "eventuate" that was in the previous version of the article. --Lucas Gallindo 03:16, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

From the Oxford English Dictionary:
“ 2. To be the issue; to result, come about.

1834 DE QUINCEY Coleridge Wks. (1863) II. 93 In the upshot, this conclusion eventuated (to speak Yankeeishly), that, etc. 1876 C. M. DAVIES Unorth. Lond. I. 25 If So-and-so were condemned, a schism in the National Church would eventuate. 1884 Law Times 14 June 121/1 When there was danger of a war eventuating with America.

[edit] Alternate definition?

Is this distribution also the limiting (as n goes to infinity) distribution of

\frac{1}{2} + \sum_{i=1}^{n}\frac{R_{i}}{3^{i}}, \,\!

where the Ri are iid Rademacher distributions? Seems to me that it is, but my proof skills are quite rusty... Baccyak4H (Yak!) 20:15, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
