[edit]I moved this from the main page:
- A random variable is continuous if the set of all possible values it can assume forms an interval, either finite or infinite.
- The probability that a continuous random variable will take a value in any particular sub-interval is given by the probability density function.
Not every variable whose range is an interval (surely of positive length?) has a probability density function. Are continuous random variables those whose cdf if continuous? AxelBoldt
What more?
[edit]Something should be added relating to multivariate distributions, a little more about mixed continous-discrete distributions (example of rainfall perhaps), and about general decomposition in continuous, discrete etc components. Melcombe (talk) 17:01, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Needs expert attention
[edit]Bizarre/confused mix of random variables and distributions that sometimes conflate the two. Also, everything can be improved.
