\section*{Preamble}
This guide is designed to help anyone who is completely lost in STAT 222. I wrote this because I am currently taking STAT 222 and I have no clue what the hell is going on. So my goal here is to pass on any knowledge that I can in terms or words that should make sense rather than a bunch of STAT 222 jargon. I only plan on filling in what I research, which is usually what I don't already know. Hopefully, when I am done with this guide, someone else can take over and continue adding more and more. Eventually, this survival guide may turn into a replacement for the real book.\\
Make note that this guide does not include any information on discrete random variables since they are not part of the STAT 222 course material.\\
\chapter{Uniform RV's}
Uniform Random Variables are used where each outcome of an event is equally probable. For $p_{U}(u) = P(U \leq u)$ where $U$ is some $[a, b]$-Uniform Random Variable, $p_{U}(u)$ will always be zero unless $(a \leq u \leq b)$. When $(a \leq u \leq b)$, then $p_{U}(u) = \dfrac{1}{b-a}$.\\

$P(X_{1} \leq x_{1}, ..., X_{d} \leq x_{d}) = P(X_{1} \leq x_{1}) \cdot \cdot \cdot P(X_{d} \leq x_{d})$\\
\text{The same goes for }$F_{X_{1...d}}(x_{1...d})$, $f_{X_{1...d}}(x_{1...d})$, $E\left[X_{1...d}\right]$

\section*{Moment Generating Functions}
In general, $M_{X}(u) = E\left[e^{uX}\right] = \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{ux}f_{X}(x)\delta x = 1 + uE[X] + \dfrac{u^{2}E\left[X^{2}\right]}{2!} + ... + \dfrac{u^{n}E\left[X^{n}\right]}{n!}$\\
Therefore, $\dfrac{\delta^{k}}{\delta u^{k}}M_{X}(u)\vert_{u=0} = E\left[X^{k}\right]$ for $k = 0, 1, 2, ...$\\
$M_{X_{1} + ... + X_{d}}(t) = M_{X_{1}}(t) \cdot\cdot\cdot M_{X_{d}}(t) = E\left[e^{tX_{1}} \cdot\cdot\cdot e^{tX_{d}}\right]$\\
$M_{aX + b}(u) = e^{bu}M_{X}(au)$\\
\begin{align*}
\text{Uniform}& : [a,b]-\text{Uniform}& M_{X}(t)& = \dfrac{e^{tb}-e^{ta}}{t\left(b-a\right)}\\
\text{Exponential}& : \lambda-\text{Exp}& M_{X}(t)& = \dfrac{\lambda}{\lambda - t}\\
\text{Gamma}& : (\alpha, \beta)-\text{Gamma}& M_{X}(t)& = \left(\dfrac{1}{1 - \beta t}\right)^{\alpha}& \text{for } t < 1/\beta\\
\text{Weibull}& : (\alpha, \beta)-\text{Weibull}& M_{X}(t)& = ???\\
