Abstract
In this paper, the differential calculus was used to obtain some classes of ordinary differential equations (ODE) for the probability density function, quantile function, survival function, inverse survival function, hazard function and reversed hazard function of Burr XII and Pareto distributions. This was made easier since later distribution is a special case of the former. The stated necessary conditions required for the existence of the ODEs are consistent with the various parameters that defined the distributions. Solutions of these ODEs by using numerous available methods are new ways of understanding the nature of the probability functions that characterize the distributions.
