Is exponential distribution discrete or continuous?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking whether the exponential distribution is classified as discrete or continuous. The exponential distribution is a continuous probability distribution often used to model the time between events in a Poisson process.
Answer
continuous probability distribution
The exponential distribution is a continuous probability distribution.
Answer for screen readers
The exponential distribution is a continuous probability distribution.
More Information
The exponential distribution is primarily used to model the time between events in a process where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate.
Tips
Ensure to distinguish between continuous and discrete distributions to avoid confusion.
