Talk:Continuous probability distribution

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I moved this from the main page:

A random variable is continuous if the set of all possible values it can assume forms an interval, either finite or infinite.

The probability that a continuous random variable will take a value in any particular sub-interval is given by the probability density function.

Not every variable whose range is an interval (surely of positive length?) has a probability density function. Are continuous random variables those whose cdf if continuous? AxelBoldt
