Discrete Uniform (randint) Distribution

The discrete uniform distribution with parameters (a,b) constructs a random variable that has an equal probability of being any one of the integers in the half-open range [a,b). If a is not given it is assumed to be zero and the only parameter is b. Therefore,

p(k,a,b)=1baak<bF(x;a,b)=xabaaxbG(q;a,b)=q(ba)+aμ=b+a12μ2=(ba1)(ba+1)12γ1=0γ2=65(ba)2+1(ba1)(ba+1).
M(t)=1bab1k=aetk=ebteat(ba)(et1)
