Exponential Distribution Explained

The exponential distribution describes the time between random Poisson events and is related to the Poisson distribution. It models processes where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate. The exponential distribution has a probability density function with a single parameter λ that represents the average rate of events.

What The exponential distribution (also called the negative exponential distribution) is a probability distribution that describes

time between events in a Poisson process.


Exponential There is a strong relationship between the Poisson distribution and the Exponential distribution are intertwined. For
