UGM June 2019 Q2
Exponential distribution comprises which of the following characteristics?
(a) It is a discrete distribution
(b) It is a family of distributions
(c) It is skewed to the left
(d) The x values range from zero to infinity
0. Which one of the following options is most appropriate:
- Option : D
- Explanation : The exponential distribution is closely related to the Poisson distribution. Whereas the Poisson
distribution is discrete and describes random occurrences over some interval, the
exponential distribution is continuous and describes a probability distribution of the
times between random occurrences. The following are the characteristics of the exponential distribution.
It is a continuous distribution.
It is a family of distribution.
It is skewed to the right.
The x values range from zero to infinity.
Its apex is always at x = 0.
The curve steadily decreases as x gets larger.
