Mean of Exponential distribution ([X]). •

Number of values simulated. •

.Seed

(¬ 0: repeatable)

Random number generator seed. •

klass

No. of histogram classes (0, auto). •

Show values

Shows the coordinates of the graph. •

Simulates, via Monte Carlo, an Exponential random variable, X, and compares the results with the theoretical (analytical) 'pdf'. A density-type histogram is produced for comparison.
