A family of pdf's that has been used to approximate the distribution of income, city population size, and size of firms is the Pareto family. The family has two parameters, k and 0, both > 0, and the pdf is as follows. k.ak f(x; k, 0) = ΧΣΘ xx +1 0 x < 0 (a) Sketch the graph of f(x; k, 0). f(x) f(x) f(x) f(x) SLED k 0 k A (b) Verify that the total area under the graph equals 1. 6. k.gk xk+1 dx = = 0-8 off (c) If the rv X has pdf f(x; k, 0), for any fixed b > 0, obtain an expression for P(X ≤ b). (d) For 0 < a <b, obtain an expression for the probability P(a ≤ x ≤ b).
