The Student:-Statistics subpackage represents distributions by random variables that follow that distribution.

Commands in this section are of the general form NameRandomVariable(arguments) where Name is the name of a distribution and arguments are the parameters for that distribution. For example, NormalRandomVariable(1,2) is a random variable distributed as $\mathrm{Normal}\left(1\,2\right)$ and PoissonRandomVariable(a) is a random variable distributed as $\mathrm{Poisson}\left(a\right)$.

Random variable commands available in Student:-Statistics subpackage are:

The command Sample can be used to generate a data sample which will follow the specified distribution and with the specified sample size.
