In this chapter, we will present recipes to perform the following tasks:

• Computing the probability mass function of a discrete random variable
• Computing the probability density function of a continuous random variable
• Computing the cumulative distribution function for a random variable
• Computing the values of inverse probabilities associated with a random variable
• Computing the average, standard deviation, and higher moments of a distribution
• Computing probabilities associated with the multivariate Gaussian distribution
• Computing the summary statistics of a dataset
