In this paper, we introduced and studied the statistical properties of a new distribution called the Marshall-Olkin extended quasi Lindley distribution. Specifically, we derived the crude moment, moment generating function, quantile function, and distributions of order statisticsbased on the distribution. The maximum likelihood point estimation method was used to estimate the parameters of the newly introduced model. Some AR minfication processes were discussed. We illustrated the applicability
