Do I take the derivative of the density fct and set it equal to 0, then solve for t?

A Gamma Distribution is a type of probability distribution that is used to model continuous random variables. It is commonly used in statistics and is known for its skewed shape.
The mode of a Gamma Distribution can be derived by finding the value of x that corresponds to the highest point on the distribution curve. This can be done by using a mathematical formula or by graphing the distribution and visually determining the mode.
The mode of a Gamma Distribution is primarily affected by the shape parameter (α) and rate parameter (β). A larger α value will result in a higher mode, while a larger β value will result in a lower mode.
Yes, it is possible for the mode of a Gamma Distribution to be greater than the mean. This can occur when the shape parameter (α) is greater than 1, resulting in a skewed distribution with a longer right tail.
The mode of a Gamma Distribution can provide insight into the most frequently occurring value or range of values in a dataset. It can be used to identify the center of a skewed distribution and can also be used in conjunction with other measures of central tendency, such as the mean and median, to fully understand the distribution of the data.
