Abstract
The exponential distribution is a particular case of the gamma distribution with parameter \(1,\lambda \). If X, Y and Z are stochastically independent random numbers with exponential distribution of parameter \(\lambda =2\), i.e. Gamma distribution \(\varGamma (1,2)\), we can use the following property of the the sum of stochastically independent random numbers with Gamma distribution.
