+
+#### stdlib_base_dists_pareto_type1_quantile( p, alpha, beta )

+Evaluates the [quantile function][quantile-function] for a [Pareto (Type I)][pareto-distribution] distribution with parameters `alpha` (shape parameter) and `beta` (scale parameter).
+
+```c
+double y = stdlib_base_dists_pareto_type1_quantile( 0.8, 2.0, 1.0 );
+// returns ~2.236
+```
+
+The function accepts the following arguments:
+
+-   **p**: `[in] double` input probability.
+-   **alpha**: `[in] double` shape parameter.
+-   **beta**: `[in] double` scale parameter.
