I'm not sure if you're interested in all the statistical part of the distribution so I'll keep it simple.

When you have an exponential distribution exponential(lambda) you have the following:

  • Expected value E(X) (mean): 1/lambda
  • Variance V(X): 1/lambda^2
  • Standard Deviation = sqrt(Variance)

Therefore the standard deviation is the same as the mean.

Those are the basics about the exponential distribution. In your case, you are using an exponential distribution with lambda = 1 which means the mean will also be 1 so, in average, your interarrival time will be 1.

If you had lambda = 2 your average interarrival time would be 1/2 = 0.5.

Hope that helps
