Higher income individuals can afford to pay higher dollar amounts in taxes. The least fair tax is the sales tax - specifically sales taxes levied on life's necessities, such as food purchased in grocery stores. There is large variation across the country in terms of state/local tax burdens on the poor.
The U.S. Air Force recognized the merit of Weibull's method and funded his research until 1975. Today, Weibull analysis is the leading method in the world for fitting and analyzing life data. Dorian Shainin introduced the author to statistical engineering at the Hartford Graduate Center (RPI) in the mid-fifties.
Note that when k = 1, the Weibull distribution reduces to the exponential. distribution with parameter 1. 2. In the random variable experiment, select the Weibull distribution. Vary the shape parameter and note the shape and. location of the density function. For selected values of the shape parameter, run the simulation 1000 times with an. update frequency of 10.
