Sorry if this question is too simple, I'm new to Mathematica. If I enter


TransformedDistribution[ ax + b, x\[Distributed]NormalDistribution[u,
Sigma]]

I get

TransformedDistribution[ax + b, x\[Distributed]NormalDistribution[u, Sigma]]

instead of what is expected as per the website examples

NormalDistribution[au + b, Sigma(Abs(a))]


Thanx, Shaun
