Answer to Problem 22SE
The cumulative distribution function of X is,
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
The random variable X follows Pareto distribution with parameters
Calculation:
For a continuous random variable with probability density function
From the probability density function of the Pareto distribution it can be seen that if
For
For
Substitute
It can be concluded that the cumulative distribution of X is,
Hence, the result.
