In this paper, A new distribution called Exponential Lomax distribution is introduced. It is seemed that the parameter values of our new distribution are depending on decreasing and upside-down bathtub failure rate function. Also, the statistical properties of this model are studied, such as, quantiles, moments, mean deviation. Moreover, maximum likelihood estimators of it ' s parameters are discussed. Finally, the procedure is illustrated by real data set. It is shown that the introduced model is more competitive than other models.
