Abstract
In order to describe certain processes and introduce some useful terms, the results of a thought experiment are examined in detail. By the term ‘experiment’ we mean here a series of successive measurements of the same magnitude, under identical experimental conditions. The ‘results’ of the measurements in this thought experiment were found using random numbers.
