Article Author: Oguntunde P.E, Odetunmibi O.A., Adejumo, A. O

Abstract

In this paper, Exponential distribution as the only continuous statistical distribution that exhibits the memoryless property is being explored by deriving another two-parameter model representing the sum of two independent exponentially distributed random variables, investigating its statistical properties and verifying the memoryless property of the resulting model.

Keywords: Convolution, Cumulant, Exponential, Hazard, Independent, Memoryless
