The Weibull distribution is a generalized form of the exponential distribution, for which the hazard function is not constant, but instead increases (for shape parameter k > 1) or decreases (for shape parameter k < 1) with x. When the shape parameter is one, the Weibull distribution reduces to the exponential distribution.

In fact, any Weibull distribution can be transformed into a standard exponential distribtuion by a change of variables.

The Weibull distribution is commonly used in engineering applications to model the time-to-failure of industrial components.
