Applied to single variable continuous data e.g. heights of plants, weights of lambs, lengths of time Used to calculate the probability of occurrences less than, more than, between given values e.g. “the probability that the plants will be less than 70mm”, “the probability that the lambs will be heavier than 70kg”,
