  ABSTRACT: This paper is devoted to study a new generalization of the flexible Weibull with three parameters. This model is referred to as the exponential flexible Weibull extension (EFWE) distribution which exhibits bathtub-shaped hazard rate function. Some statistical properties such as the mode, median, the moment, quantile function, the moment generating function and order statistics are discussed. Moreover, the maximum likelihood method for estimating the model parameters and the Fisher’s information matrix is given. Finally, the advantage of the EFWE distribution is concluded by an application using real data.
