Question
4)
A set of measurements is given as follows.
X = [0.1, 0.3, 0.8, 12,4, 7,9]
We want to approximate the source of this data with Gamma distribution, i.e.,
X~Gamma(a, B).
For Gamma distribution, the mean and variance can be found from the below
equations.
a
Hx
a
o =
Find the parameters of Gamma distribution to fit the data. Come up with two other
distributions that you think are good representation of this data. Justify your answer.
