Continuous Probability Distributions

A continuous probability distribution is a representation of a variable that can take a continuous range of values.

The Uniform Distribution

The continuous uniform distribution is a family of symmetric probability distributions in which all intervals of the same length are equally probable.

The Exponential Distribution

The exponential distribution is a family of continuous probability distributions that describe the time between events in a Poisson process.

The Normal Distribution

The normal distribution is symmetric with scores more concentrated in the middle than in the tails.

Graphing the Normal Distribution

The graph of a normal distribution is a bell curve.

The Standard Normal Curve

The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Finding the Area Under the Normal Curve

To calculate the probability that a variable is within a range in the normal distribution, we have to find the area under the normal curve.
