Distribution
A continuous random variable X takes all values in an
interval of numbers.
Not countable
If a part with a diameter larger than 12.60 millimeters is scrapped, what proportion of parts is scapped? The
density function and the requested probability are shown in Fig. 3.5. A part is scrapped if X>12.60. Now,

Continuity the previous example, what is the probability that a current measurement is
between milliamperes? From Fig.
Fig 3.15,

algebraically we have
Normal Distribution
Example (continued)
Determine the value for which the probability that a current measurement is below this
value is 0.98. the requested value is shown graphically in Fig. 3.16. we need the value of x
such that P(X<x)=0.98. By standardizing , this probability expression can be written as
