			<h1>EXPON.DIST Function</h1>
			<p>The <b>EXPON.DIST</b> function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the exponential distribution.</p>
			<p>The <b>EXPON.DIST</b> function syntax is:</p> 
			<p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>EXPON.DIST(x, lambda, cumulative)</em></b></p> 
			<p><em>where</em></p> 
				<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>x</em></b> is the value of the function, a numeric value greater than or equal to 0,</p>
				<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>lambda</em></b> is the parameter of the value, a numeric value greater than 0,</p> 
				<p style="text-indent: 50px;"><b><em>cumulative</em></b> is a logical value (TRUE or FALSE) that determines the function form. If <b><em>cumulative</em></b> is TRUE, the function will return the cumulative distribution function, if FALSE, it will return the probability density function.</p>
				<p>The values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.</p>
			<p>To apply the <b>EXPON.DIST</b> function,</p>
			<ol>
			<li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
			<li>click the <b>Insert Function</b> <img alt="Insert Function icon" src="../images/insertfunction.png" /> icon situated at the top toolbar,
				<br />or right-click within a selected cell and select the <b>Insert Function</b> option from the menu,
				<br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar,
			</li>
			<li>select the <b>Statistical</b> function group from the list,</li>
			<li>click the <b>EXPON.DIST</b> function,</li>
			<li>enter the required arguments separating them by commas,</li>
			<li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
			</ol>
			<p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
