Hi zeezo,
Not doubt there is something in one or more of the toolboxes, but for a set of time intervals with the exponential distribution, with mean time t0:
n = 1e7
t = -log(rand(1,n))*t0;
The fraction of occurrences with t > t0 should be exp(-1):
>> (1/n)*sum(t>t0)
ans = 0.3680
>> exp(-1)
ans = 0.3679
