Definitions:

Continuous Probability Distribution

A type of probability distribution where the possible outcomes form a continuum and can take on any value within a given range.

Probability Density Function

Probability density function is a function that describes the likelihood of a random variable to take on a given value, primarily used in continuous probability distributions.

Continuous Random Variable

A continuous random variable is a variable that can take an infinite number of values within a given range, representing quantities that can be measured, not just counted.

Probability Density Function

A function that describes the relative likelihood for a continuous random variable to occur at a given point in the observation space.
