Once an individual has been infected with a certain disease, let X represent the time (days) that elapses before the individual becomes infectious. An article proposes a Weibull distribution with a = 2.6, ß = 1.7, and y=0.5. [Hint: The two-parameter Weibull distribution can be generalized by introducing a third parameter y, called a threshold or location parameter: replace x in the equation below, f(x; a, B)= Ba" E -²-1-(x/B) a 0 x 20 x < 0 by xy and x 20 by x ≥ y.] (a) Calculate P(1 < X < 2).
