Probability Density Function Cumulative Distribution Function

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
example, let’s say a Poisson distribution models the number of births in a given time period. The time in between each
