Definitions:

Exponential Distribution

A probability distribution that describes the time between events in a process where events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate.

Normal Distribution

A bell-shaped probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean.

T Distribution

A probability distribution that is used in statistics to estimate population parameters when the sample size is small and the population variance is unknown.

Two-sided Test

A statistical test where the region of rejection is on both sides of the sampling distribution, used to determine if there's a significant difference from a specific value.
