# Question 3¤

What is the probability density function for the hazard function h(x) = (x)? Click on one of the options below, then click on "Check Answer".

Weibull with = and = 2.
Poisson with average rate .
Extreme value with = 0 and = .
None of these.
Yes, that's right. In the section on the Weibull distribution, it was mentioned that = 2 gave a straight line hazard function.
No, that's not right. A hazard function of (x) produces a straight line, and if you remember in the section on the Weibull distribution, it was mentioned that = 2 gave a straight line hazard function.
