Reading 5b: Continuous Random Variables
Whereas discrete random variables take on a discrete set of possible values, continuous random variables have a continuous set of values. Computationally, to go from discrete to continuous we simply replace sums by integrals. It will help you to keep in mind that (informally) an integral is just a continuous sum.
