Pienaru, Ioan Remarks on the gamma and beta distributions. (English) Zbl 1052.60502 Gen. Math. 4, 53-61 (1996). Summary: The following problem may be formulated: by using only the frequency and the mean, find the mean deviation. Here we solve the above problem in the case of the following continuous distributions: Gamma, \(\chi^2\) and Beta. As an application, the exact probability of a certain event is given in a convenient form.
