Hey MJ, do you by any chance happen to know of any macroscopic physical systems whose lifetimes are (roughly) exponentially distributed? |
| [06:11] Chruser:
I keep finding examples along the lines of "the lifetime of a particular type of fluorescent lamp is exponentially distributed with expectation 1.6 years [...]", but they all seem to originate from basic probability theory. |
| [06:13] Chruser:
Those problems seem contrived at best, as if the authors got sick of all of their examples being about the decay of radioactive particles. |

I'm sure you've already found this, but quickly perusing this looks like there are some exponential properties in traffic patterns |
