英文摘要	For a known distribution of sources, the variance of the distribution function of samples can be obtained by applying mathematical statistics. A statistical method, called the 1 sigma distribution function deviation test, is defined and introduced to test this kind of distributions. We find that, when random variables vary continuously, a sample passing the test also passes any other statistical test which depends on the deviation of a statistic from its expected value at the 1 sigma confidence level. In particular, the sample passes the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test at the same confidence level. This new method is suitable for testing the distribution of gamma-ray bursts as well as the luminosity function of quasars.An example of application of the new test is also presented in this paper.
