Popis: The theory of $F$-manifolds, and more generally, manifolds endowed with commutative and associative multiplication of their tangent fields, was discovered and formalised in various models of quantum field theory involving algebraic and analytic geometry, at least since 1990's. The focus of this paper consists in the demonstration that various spaces of probability distributions defined and studied at least since 1960's also carry natural structures of $F$-manifolds. This fact remained somewhat hidden in various domains of the vast territory of models of information storing and transmission that are briefly surveyed here.
