Abstract


Well established tools in applied probability theory, the Gumbel and the Gompertz distributions are eligible candidates for extending the realm of random-variable based analysis of certain chemical processes and phenomena. A consecutive chemical reaction serves for the quantitative illustration of the subject matter whose understanding requires core-level familiarity with statistical tables and the statistical testing of hypotheses.
