The data in Table 75.1 show the time intervals in days between explosions in mines in Great Britain involving more than 10 men killed from December 6, 1875 to May 29, 1951, which covers a period of ≈76 years [1]. The one-parameter exponential model was used in the analysis [1]. Time Intervals in Days between 109 Mining Accidents
