In probability theory and statistics, the gamma distribution is a versatile two-parameter family of continuous probability distributions.
- Rarity
- Rare
- Domain
- Nature
- ATK
- 79
- DEF
- 77
- Power
- 156
- Wikipedia reads a year
- 420,000

In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The exponential distribution, Erlang distribution, and chi-squared distribution are special cases of the gamma distribution.
- There are two equivalent parameterizations in common use: With a shape parameter α and a scale parameter θ With a shape parameter α and a rate parameter β = 1 / θ In each of these forms, both parameters are positive real numbers.
- The distribution has important applications in various fields, including econometrics, Bayesian statistics, and life testing.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gamma distribution article was read about 420,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 77: each hit it takes is cut by 31 %.
How to get Gamma distribution
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
