Homework Statement
This is an example in my book with omitted steps. Suppose the reaction time X of a randomnly selected individual to a certain stimulus has a standard gamma distribution with alpha=2. When X is continuous
P(2<=X<=5) = F(5;2)-F(3;2) = .960-.801 = .159
Homework Equations
F(x;alpha) = integral from x to 0 [(y^(alpha-1))*(e^-y)]/(gamma(alpha)
The Attempt at a Solution
I have followed the equation and placed 5 for y and 2 for alpha but the numbers are not matching up. In the test it says that gamma(alpha) is equal to one. Please help I have a test tommorow. Thanks
