Abstract
In this paper, a new distribution namely Length Biased Exp-Gamma distribution is proposed. The different
mathematical and statistical properties of the proposed distribution are derived. The survival function, hazard rate
function and mean residual life function of the proposed distribution are discussed. The expression for Bonferroni
and Lorenz curve of the proposed distribution is derived. The parameters of the proposed distribution are estimated
by using method of maximum likelihood estimation. Performance of the proposed model is tested using real life
data sets
