The relationship between the mean and variance of the exponential distribution is expressed by _____

The relationship between the mean and variance of the exponential distribution is expressed by _____ Correct Answer μ = λσ2

For an exponential distribution, μ=1⁄λ and σ2 = 1/λ2 So, for an exponential distribution, μ = λσ2.
