========================

x >for some real constant λ >is an exponential(λ) random variable. Z x. X ∼ Exponential(λ) to say that X. is drawn from an exponential distribution of parameter λ. In many applications, λ is referred to as a “rate,” for example the arrival rate or the service rate in queueing, the death rate in actuarial science, or the failure rate in reliability The shorthand X ∼ exponential(a) is used to indicate that the random variable X has the exponen-tial distribution with positive scale parameter a. I Formula PfX >ag= e a is very important in practice f(x) = λe−λx. The distribution is supported on the interval [0, ∞). The exponential distribution exhibits infinite divisibility Exponential random variables I Say X is an exponential random variable of parameter when its probability distribution function is f(x) = (e x xxhave F X(a) = Z af(x)dx = Z ae xdx = e x a=e a: I Thus PfX ag= e a. > 0, for a > 0 It is convenient to use the unit step function defined as. so we can The PDF of X is. Say X is an exponential random variable of parameter λ when its probability distribution function is. Here λ >is the parameter of the distribution, often called the rate parameter. This work is produced by The Connexions Project and licensed under the Creative  The shorthand X ∼ exponential(a) is used to indicate that the random variable X has the exponen-tial distribution with positive scale parameter a. We write. −∞. The exponential distribution can be parameterized by its mean a with the probability density function. u(x) = {x ≥otherwise u (x) = {x ≥otherwise. The exponential distribution can  Characterization of Exponential Distribution It turns out that Propertiestocan all be used to characterize exponential distri-bution in the sense that if a distribution possesses  FigPDF of the exponential random variable. f (x) = λe −λx x ≥xhave Continuous Random Variables: The Exponential Distribution Susan Dean Barbara Illowsky, Ph.D. = λe−λtdt =− e−λx, x ≥ The probability density function (pdf) of an exponential distribution is. (x) = ae−x/a. CDF. The CDF of an exponential random variables can be determined by. λe−λx, x ≥ 0, fX (x) = (1) 0, otherwise, where λ >is a parameter. If a random variable X has this distribution, we write X ~ Exp (λ). Exponential random variables. Z x FX (x) = fX (t)dt.
