Hi,

in your code below, you worte
pdf = BurrDistribution[x1, c, k]

so you *know* that the PDF is BurrDistribution[x1, c, k]

PDF[BurrDistribution[c, k], t]

and this is complete nonsense because Mathematica don't
know the BurrDistribution[] but you know it ..
and

PDF[BurrDistribution[c, k], t]=BurrDistribution[t, c, k]


So to plot it

Plot[
  BurrDistribution[t, 37.81151579009424, 0.01356141249769735],
    {t, 2, 21}]

should work.

Regards
   Jens

Do I have done something wrong in the program?
