StatsMaxwellPDF

StatsMaxwellPDF (x, k)

The StatsMaxwellPDF function returns Maxwell's probability distribution function

$$\displaystyle f(x ; k)=\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi}} k^{3 / 2} x^{2} \exp \left(-\frac{k x^{2}}{2}\right), \quad x>0 .$$

The Maxwell distribution describes, for example, the speed distribution of molecules in an ideal gas.
