        <p>This study introduces a new family of continuous distributions. Statistical properties of the distribution are thoroughly explored, and specific cases within this family are presented. The proposed model is applied to situations where the data indicate extreme skewness. We carried out simulation study to explore the estimation of the model parameters through maximum likelihood technique. Two datasets are analysed to demonstrate the utility of the proposed model in practical application.</p>
