|
| q | P = the probability that a randomly selected value of a
variable X falls |
|||||||||
| between a and b. |
||||||||||
| f(x) = the probability density
function. |
||||||||||
| q | The probability function has to be integrated over distinct limits
to |
|||||||||
| obtain a probability. |
||||||||||
| q | The probability for X to have some particular value is ZERO. |

| q | Two important properties of the probability density function: |
|||||||||
| (1) f(x) ¾ 0 for all x within the domain of f. |
