General

Symmetric

If there is a point that,

Then,

Is the expectation of this random variable, equal to the point of symmetry.

 

Median and Quantiles

The middle value of the random variable.
For median, set p to 0.5.

 

Variance

A positive quantity that measures the spread of the distribution of the random variable about its mean value.
Larger values of the variance indicate that the distribution is more spread out.
