Definitions:

Exponential Distribution

The exponential distribution is a continuous probability distribution that describes the time between events in a Poisson process, where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate.

Exponentially Distributed

It refers to a type of continuous probability distribution that describes the time between events in a Poisson point process, where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate.

Parameter λ

A specific numerical or symbolic constant used in mathematics and statistics to represent a characteristic or value in a general function or equation.

Normally Distributed

Describes a symmetrical, bell-shaped distribution of data where most of the observations cluster around the central peak and the probabilities for values farther away from the mean taper off equally in both directions.
