Recently interesting data on $dN_{ch}/d\eta$ in Au-Au collisions ($\eta=-\ln \tan (\theta/2)$) with the centrality cuts have been reported by PHOBOS Collaboration. Their data are usually divided by the number of participants (nucleons) in collisions. Instead of this way, using the total multiplicity $N_{ch} = \int (dN_{ch}/d\eta)d\eta$, we find that there is scaling phenomenon among $(N_{ch})^{-1}dN_{ch}/d\eta = dn/d\eta$ with different centrality cuts at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 130$ GeV. To explain this scaling behavior of $dn/d\eta$, we consider the stochastic approach called the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with two sources. Moreover, comparisons of $dn/d\eta$ at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 130$ GeV with that at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 200$ GeV have been made. A possible detection method of the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) thorough $dn/d\eta$ is presented.
