Simulates, via Monte Carlo (limited time), the total volume, V, from several supplies, each with a given probability of effectiveness. The probabilities (all) follow an "oblique" (straight line, f = a v + b) distribution, between given lower and upper (L, U) values and slope.

In the Figures, are shown: (right h. side) tank wagons (or "open wagons") as used in factories for local transportation (fr. wagonnet, pt vagoneta); and (below) the base problem, with 3 supplies.

Plots the density function (pdf), f(v), and the probability function (cdf), F(v), for the total volume, and computes its mean and standard-deviation.
