Discrete Uniform: MGF
Binomial: Density
Out of n objects drawn, with probability of success p, x are successful.
Binomial: Mean
Binomial: Variance
Binomial: MGF
Geometric: Density
Probability of the first success on x-1 trials. Probability of success is p.
Geometric: Mean
The mean for the number of failures until the first success. The alternative, the trial of the first success. To find this add one to the expecation of failures and get 1/p.
Geometric: Variance
Geometric: MGF
Poisson: Density
Probability of x occurances over a unit of time. Lambda is the average rate of occurance.
Poisson: Variance and Mean
Poisson: MGF
Negative Binomial: Density
Repeat and experiment with success probability p until the rth success. x is the number of failures until the rth success.
Negative Binomial: Mean
Negative Binomial: Variance
Negative Binomial: MGF
Hypergeometric: Density
In a group of M objects, K are type one objects. M-K are type two. n is the number of objects drawn and x is the number of type one objects drawn.
Hypergeometric: Mean
Hypergeometric: Variance
Multinomial: Density
Out of n trials, xi are from group i and have probability pi.
Multinomial: Mean i
Multinomial: Variance i
