What is exponential distribution?

Input

mu = mean value (expected value) in days, hours, minutes, seconds (in the 0000:00:00:00 format)

As duration, a value in line with the negative exponential distribution is output for each process instance. This distribution is intended for time spans between independent events.

Example

If you specify the mean value of processing time of functions (for example, carrying out repair) as one hour and as two hours, the probability of occurrence decreases less quickly for one hour than for two hours. Since the distribution curve is flatter and starts further down at the y axis for a mean value of one hour than for a mean value of two hours, the curve is longer, extending its bandwidth on the x axis further to the right.
