A function specifying the probability that a member of an assembly of independent fermions, such as electrons in a semiconductor or metal, will occupy a certain energy state when thermal equilibrium exists.
Yes.
the variance of the uniform distribution function is 1/12(square of(b-a)) and the mean is 1/2(a+b).
probability density distribution
You integrate the probability distribution function to get the cumulative distribution function (cdf). Then find the value of the random variable for which cdf = 0.5.
The modes of a probability density function might be defined as the (countable) set of points in the domain of the function for which the function achieves local maxima. Since the probability density function for the uniform distribution is constant by definition it has no local maxima, hence no modes. Hence, it cannot be bimodal.

There are two different kinds of particles (electrons, protons, neutrons, atoms, molecules). Each such particle has a so called "spin" which is quantum mechanical value. Depending on spin particles behave differently in the same conditions and can be described using two different distributions. First one is Bose-Einstein distribution for particles with integer spin. Second on is Fermi-Dirac distribution for particles with spin n/2 (where n is an integer number which can take values starting from 1 and higher).
The Fermi level is also known as the electron chemical potential (μ), and is a constant appearing in the Fermi-Dirac distribution formula: F() = 1 / [1 + exp((-μ)/kT)] Even though the gap may not contain any electronic states, there may be some thermally excited holes in the valence band and electrons in the conduction band, with the occupancy given by the Fermi-Dirac (FD) function. By inspecting the FD function, it becomes clear that if a state existed at the Fermi level, it would have an occupancy of 1/[1 + exp(0)] = 1/[1+1] = 1/2. Lastly, do not confuse Fermi level with Fermi energy. One is the chemical potential of electrons, the other is the energy of the highest occupied state in a filled fermionic system. In semiconductor physics, the Fermi energy would coincide with the valence band maximum.
An anyon is a particle which obeys a continum of quantum statistics, of which two are the Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac statistics.
It would be difficult to understand the behavior of electrons without the Fermi Dirac statistics. Why in a metal, electrons can move freely to conduct the electric current and why their contribution in the same metal to the specific heat is negligible, as if their number become for an unknown reason, considerably reduced. We have here a problem of "statistical order" that can be explained only by using the Fermi Dirac statistics (the classical statical mechanics was unable to explain this phenomenon).
You need to know mu, which is probably in the part of the question you didn't bother to write. Wikipedia has several FD statistics curves; you'll need to decide which one is appropriate for your particular value of mu.
The Dirac delta function.
To plot each value of a vector as a dirac impulse, try stem instead of plot.
The signum function is differentiable with derivative 0 everywhere except at 0, where it is not differentiable in the ordinary sense. However, but under the generalised notion of differentiation in distribution theory, the derivative of the signum function is two times the Dirac delta function or twice the unit impulse function.
a pulse (dirac's delta).
Well Dirac delta functions have a loot of application in physics.... Suppose u want to depict the charge density or mass density at only a particular point and want to show that at any other point in space this density is nil, we use this dirac delta function to depict the position of this charge or mass... In general, Dirac delta function is used whenever the divergence for a field has different and contradicting values at the origin....esp used when the usual Divergence theorum is proved wrong due to contradicting values of the flux...
Paul Dirac's birth name is Paul Adrien Maurice Dirac.
