Continuous Probability Distributions
Overview: This section introduces continuous random variables and their distributions.
- Continuous Random Variables:
- Variables that can take on an infinite number of values within a given range (e.g., height, weight).
- Common Continuous Distributions:
- Normal Distribution: A bell-shaped distribution characterized by its mean and standard deviation.
- Exponential Distribution: Models the time between events in a Poisson process.
- Real-Life Example:
- The distribution of heights in a population often follows a normal distribution, where most individuals are around the average height.
