Description Computes the exponential distribution, which can be used to determine the amount of time between random events.
Syntax EXPONDIST (x, lambda, cumulative)
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| x | The value at which the function will be evaluated. It must be larger than 0. |
| lambda | A parameter value for distribution that determines the shape of the curve. The value must be larger than 0. |
| cumulative | A logical value that determines whether EXPONDIST returns a singular or cumulative value. Use False to calculate the distribution for the x value only. Use True to calculate the cumulative distribution. |
Equation When cumulative is FALSE:
When cumulative is TRUE:
Examples This function returns 0.6065306597:
