Estimated lambda exponential distribution

I'm trying to calculate lambda that is the rate of exponential distribution. For example if I have an interval of 5 seconds and I have 4 objects (on average) how is lambda calculated? I need formulas to calculate it. Can anyone help me?

The rate is the number of occurrences per time unit (total number of occurrences / total time). For your case, 4 per 5 time units or a rate of 0.8 per time unit. The mean time between occurrences will be the inverse of this, or 1.25 time units.

You're asking about Exponential_distribution

the exponential distribution is the probability distribution that describes the time between events in [...] a process in which events occur continuously and independently at a constant average rate
