One realization of the distribution functions of the lifetimes associated with each protostellar class. The lifetimes are drawn using Eq. (4) with the mean value and standard deviation associated with each lifetime (see text for details). The bin size for each protostellar lifetime distribution is adjusted to the mean value of that distribution, namely the bin sizes are 5×103 yr, 2.2 × 104 yr, 1.75 × 104 yr, 105 yr, and 2 × 106 yr for the Class 0, Class I, the F Class, Class II, and Class III, respectively.
