Well, the Wikipedia formula looks correct to me. If we substitute k = 2 in their formula for the pdf (which agrees with the task description so there's no notational difference here) we get (since gamma(1) = 1): |
|||
:: f(x; k) = exp(-x/2) / 2 |
:: f(x; k) = exp(-x/2) / 2 |
||
and if we integrate that we get: |
|||
:: F(x; k) = 1 - exp(-x/2) |
:: F(x; k) = 1 - exp(-x/2) |
