exprnd function

exprnd(mean [, seed])

Returns: value sampled from an exponential distribution (numerical)

Arguments: mean of distribution (numerical), seed for random sequence (integer, only required if a reproducible series of values is needed)

Example: A Geiger counter pointed at a radioactive source will emit a series of clicks at random times. The durations of the intervals between the clicks are distributed exponentially.
