In this research a new extension of the Lomax distribution known as Lindley-Lomax distribution has been proposed by adding a shape parameter to the Lomax distribution using the Lindley-G family of distributions. The proposed article considered and extensively studied some properties of the new distribution such as moments, moment generating function, the characteristics function, survival function, hazard function and the distribution of order statistics. A graphical study of the proposed distribution and the other related functions was also done in the article. Estimation of the parameters of the proposed distribution was also done using the method of maximum likelihood estimation. The performance of the Lindley-Lomax distribution has also been tested by an application to the rate of mother-to-child HIV transmission.
