7.45 Let X1 denote the amount of a certain bulk item stocked by a supplier at the beginning of a week, and suppose that X1 has a uniform distribution over the interval 0  X1  1. Let X2 denote the amount of this item sold by the supplier during the week, and suppose that X2 has a uniform distribution over the interval 0  x2  x1, where x1 is a specific value of X1.
