Reading 5b: Continuous Random Variables
Continuous Random Variables and Probability Density Func tions. A continuous random variable takes a range of values, which may be finite or infinite in extent. Here are a few examples of ranges: [0, 1], [0, ∞), (−∞, ∞), [a, b]. Definition: A random variable X is continuous if there is a function f(x) such that for any c ≤ d we ...

If the function FX(x) = Pr(X ≤ x) of x is continuous, what is Pr(X = x)? Pr(X = x) = Pr(X ≤ x) − Pr(X < x) = 0, by continuity A continuous random variable does not possess a probability function.
Random Variables and Distribution Functions
www.math.arizona.eduIntroduction to the Science of Statistics Random Variables and Distribution Functions We often create new random variables via composition of functions:! 7!X(!) 7!f(X(!)) Thus, if X is a random variable, then so are X2, exp↵X, p X2 +1, tan2 X, bXc and so on. The last of these, rounding down X to the nearest integer, is called the floor function.
