Abstract
Statistical distributions are commonly applied to describe real world phenomena. Due to the usefulness
of statistical distributions, their theory is widely studied and new distributions are developed. The
interest in developing more flexible statistical distributions remains strong in statistics profession. Many
generalized classes of distributions have been developed and applied to describe various phenomena.
Recently, Alzaatreh et al. (2014) developed a new method to generate family of distributions and called it
the gamma-X family of distributions.
