Once an individual has been infected with a certain disease, let X represent the time (days) that elapses before the individual becomes infectious. The article "The Probability of Containment for Multitype Branching Process Models for Emerging Epidemics" (J. of Applied Probability, 2011: 173-188) proposes a Weibull distribution with a 5 2.2, b 5 1.1, and g 5 .5 (refer to Example 4.26).
a. Calculate P(1 < X < 2).
b. Calculate P(X > 1.5).
c. What is the 90th percentile of the distribution?
d.
What are the mean and standard deviation of X?
