I would like to calculate the probability distribution of the
cumulative outcomes of independent events each of which has
a different value and a different probability. For instance, take
three events. Event One has a probability of .9 and would contribute
12 to the overall outcome. Event Two has a probability of .5 and
would contribute 2 to the overall outcome. Event Three has a
probability of .2 and would contribute 6 to the overall outcome. What
is a simple way in Stata to perform the calculation of the
distribution of the overall outcome values?
Many thanks.
