<p>According to the comment by @whuber, when a question is posed in such generality that it will receive multiple different answers depending on additional assumptions adopted by readers, then it is not sufficiently specific.</p>

<p>This seems to imply that it is better to ask multiple near-copies of the question for different distributions, when relevant, than to allow for different answers by allowing readers to make additional assumptions leading to significantly different answers.</p>

<p>As a solution to the XY-problem I could include a specification for a specific distribution.</p>
