So far we have looked at discrete random variables and how to calculate/visualize their distribution functions. In this lesson, we shall deal with continuous variables and probability density function ...

A continuous random variable is a type of variable that can take on any value within a given range. Unlike discrete random variables, which have a countable number of outcomes, continuous random ...
