In this study, a new generalization of the Pareto distribution is undertaken, by first generalizing the Pareto
distribution using the Kumaraswamy method and thereafter transmuting the resulting Kumaraswamy Pareto
distribution. A detailed account of the general mathematical properties of the new generalized distribution is
presented. The shapes of the Transmuted Kumaraswamy Pareto Density were plotted using R-program. The
results show the superiority of the Transmuted Kumaraswamy Pareto distribution over the one parameter
Pareto distribution.
