Hello,
I have a little problem with Mathematica's statistical 
distributions. These seem not to be evauluated properly.
For example the documentation says that 
Variance[GammaDistribution[a,b]] should be evaluated to 
ab^2. In my worksheets I simply get: 
Variance[GammaDistribution[a,b]]. There are no errors 
or warnings whatsoever.

Is there some package missing do I have to call the 
needs function in advance?

Thanks.
