In triangular distribution the three parameters are:
The triangular probability density function for a random variable X is: fX(x)=2(x−a)/[(b−a)(c−a)]a≤x≤c=2(b−x)/[(b−a)(b−c)]c≤x≤b=0otherwise
The triangular distribution function is: FX(x)=(x−a)2(b−a)(c−a)a≤x≤c=1−(b−x)2(b−a)(b−c)c≤x≤b
The mean value and standard deviation of the random variable X for the exponential distribution are given by μX=a+b+c3
and σX=√a2+b2+c2−ab−ac−bc18.
The triangular probability density function, as shown in the figure below, is commonly used when the actual distribution of a random variable is not known but three pieces of information are available:
