Probability Density Function Calculating probabilities for continuous random variables requires a different approach from the methods used with discrete variables. If all the outcomes of a continuous ...

This rigorous formulation underpins both the theory of discrete random variables, such as those described by the binomial and Poisson distributions, and continuous random variables characterised ...

A probability density function (PDF) describes the likelihood of different outcomes for a continuous random variable.

Some of the commonly used continuous random variables are introduced below. Continuous random variables are introduced by giving either their pdf or cdf. In dealing with continuous random variables, ...
