Values for an exponential random variable occur in the following way. There are fewer large values and more small values. The exponential distribution is widely used in the field of reliability. Reliability deals with the amount of time a product lasts.

The Poisson distribution may be used to approximate the binomial, if the probability of success is "small" (less than or equal to 0.05) and the number of trials is "large" (greater than or equal to 20).
