Continuous Probability Distributions

Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could co…

Question

Definition Definition Probability of occurrence of a continuous random variable within a specified range. When the value of a random variable, Y, is evaluated at a point Y=y, then the probability distribution function gives the probability that Y will take a value less than or equal to y. The probability distribution function formula for random Variable Y following the normal distribution is: F(y) = P (Y ≤ y) The value of probability distribution function for random variable lies between 0 and 1.
