A random variable is continuous when it can assume any value within a range (an interval of the real line) — for example the exact weight of bread sold or the exact life of a bulb. Its key properties are:
- Range is an interval (uncountable). can take infinitely many values in (or over all of ).
- Point probability is zero. For any single value , ; consequently .
- Described by a density (the probability density function) satisfying
- Probabilities are areas. , the area under the curve between and . …
