康托尔分布对任何 C t t ∈ { 0, 1, 2, 3, ... }) 中 2t -t .
通过对称性很容易看出，具有这样分布的一个随机变量 X，其期望值 E(X ) = 1/2，且所有 X 的奇数阶中心矩都是 0。
方差 var(X ) 可由总方差定律 C 1 ，如果 X ∈ [0,1/3] 则令 Y = 0，如果 X ∈ [的2/3，1]，令 Y = 1。然后有
var

{\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}\operatorname {var} (X)&=\operatorname {E} (\operatorname {var} (X\mid Y))+\operatorname {var} (\operatorname {E} (X\mid Y))\\&={\frac {1}{9}}\operatorname {var} (X)+\operatorname {var} \left\{{\begin{matrix}1/6&{\mbox{with probability}}\ 1/2\\5/6&{\mbox{with probability}}\ 1/2\end{matrix}}\right\}\\&={\frac {1}{9}}\operatorname {var} (X)+{\frac {1}{9}}\end{aligned}}}
从而我们得到：
