This function returns a random variate from the exponential distribution with mean mu. The distribution is,
p(x) dx = {1 \over \mu} \exp(-x/\mu) dxfor x >= 0.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for an exponential distribution with mean mu, using the formula given above.
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions P(x), Q(x) and their inverses for the exponential distribution with mean mu.
