 <mean.dist/>

 This is a mean for 'continous ditributions' not 'discrete distibitions'
 (in K-12 terminology).

 It is not 'a funtion that describes the dist', but rather 'the density
 funtion
 of the dist' that must be integrated (for 'continuous real dists').

 <sdev/> needs a square root added.

 Better to define variance first and then say that sdev is the square
 root of the variance.  Remove 'arithmetical'.  Remove f from variance,
 then sdev and variance apply to any distribution.

 Thus <moment/> may need generalizing too.  Is it in K-14?
