Computational Formulæ for the Mean and Variance

For some random variables, especially those following common named distributions, formulæ involving the parameters of the distribution can be derived to simplify computation of these values.

Applying the definition, it is easy to determine that the expected value is

In[69]:=

Out[69]=

and the the variance is

In[70]:=

Out[70]=
