If X ~ Exponential (2), does this mean beta = 2 or lambda = 2? So what is the expected value for X ~ Exponential (2)?
Added by John T.
Step 1
The exponential distribution can be defined in terms of either the rate parameter (lambda) or the scale parameter (beta). The rate parameter is the average number of events per unit time, while the scale parameter is the average time between events. In this case, Show more…
