0.01 sec.

(Mathematics & Measurements / Statistics) Statistics a continuous single-parameter distribution used esp when making statements about the length of life of certain materials or waiting times between randomly occurring events. Its density function is p(x) = λe^-λx for positive λ and nonnegative x, and it is a special case of the gamma distribution
