Discrete Uniform: Density Function
{1,2,3,…,N}

Discrete Uniform: Mean
{1,2,3,…,N}

Discrete Uniform: Variance
{1,2,3,…,N}

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
