Unfortunately there is no master list of Maxima packages.
We are working on bringing all of the Maxima packages into
the on-line documentation system, but until that is completed,
probably the most effective approach is to simply inspect
the folder maxima/share/ in the Maxima distribution.

About probability distributions, see the distrib package.
This one is in the on-line documentation in Maxima 5.9.3,
maybe 5.9.2 (not sure).  ? distrib should show info about
the distrib package.

See also the descriptive package (descriptive statistics).

Please be advised that the names of some functions in
the distrib and descriptive packages are probably going
to change in future releases (spelling out abbreviations
in full words).

Hope this helps!
