Reading 6a: Expectation, Variance and Standard Deviation ...
ocw.mit.eduDe nition: Let X be a continuous random variable with range [a;b] and probability density function f(x). The expected value of Xis de ned by E(X) = Z b xf(x)dx: a Let’s see how this compares with the formula for a discrete random variable: n E(X) = X x ip(x i): i=1 The discrete formula says to take a weighted sum of the values x iof X, where ...
Reading 5b: Continuous Random Variables
ocw.mit.eduWhereas 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. ...
Probability Distributions: Discrete vs. Continuous
www.casrilanka.comA continuous probability distribution differs from a discrete probability distribution in several ways. The probability that a continuous random variable will assume a particular value is zero. As a result, a continuous probability distribution cannot be expressed in tabular form.

ocw.mit.eduContinuous cash flows, continuous compounding (contd.) Thus it is straightforward to convert a continuous cash flow into an equivalent series of uniform end-of-year discrete cash flows, and vice versa. Example of continuous cash flows & continuous compounding An oil refinery is considering an investment in upgrading a main pump. The
