The distribution of continuous random variables is defined by the probability density and the cumulative distribution functions. The probability density function is calculated by differentiating the cumulative distribution function of a continuous random variable. The cumulative distribution function is what we...
Afunctionis a type of equation or formula that has exactly one output (y) for every input (x). If you put a “2” into the equation x2, there’s only one output: 4. Some formulas, like x = y2, are not types of functions, because there are two possibilities for output (one po...

Probability density functions Aprobability density function(PDF) is a mathematical function that describes a continuous probability distribution. It provides theprobability densityof each value of a variable, which can be greater than one. A probability density function can be represented as an equation...

Theorems on probability: The probability of the event is the chance of its occurrence. Theorems of probability tell the rules and conditions related to the addition, multiplication of two or more events. Probability density functions are statistical measures that are used to predict the likely outcom...

A bell curve is a form of graph which represents a normal probability distribution, where the center contains the highest value of number and is the highest point on the arc of a line, and is the mean of the data points. The bell curve graph is useful for repeated measurements of equipm...
There are also several data generating or data analyzing functions associated with distributions that help explain the variables and theirvariancewithin a data set. These functions includeprobability density function, cumulative density, and moment generating functions. ...
