Abstract
We compute the "moments" and its continuous analogue of the random variable by a purely elementary method. This generalizes a result of Deitmar-Koyama-Kurokawa, which computed its "average" using some analysis involving L-function. We show this average is nothing but the invariant for a finite abelian group A = \prod_{j=1)^k Z/n_j. In ArXiv-0910.3879v1, this invariant plays an important role in the Soul\'e type zeta functions for Noetherian -schemes in the sense of Connes-Consani.
