    Undergrad Calculate Gamma Distribution: 5% at $627, 95% at $1444

    On the included link, it is calculated that 5% of payouts are around $627 and 95% of payouts are at $1444. I would appreciate if someone can direct me as to how the came up with this answer. http://www.brighton-webs.co.uk/distributions/gamma.asp"
