Key Concepts

Probability Density Function

A probability density function (PDF) describes the likelihood of a continuous random variable to take on a particular value. The area under the PDF curve over an interval gives the probability that the variable falls within that interval, and the total area over the entire space is 1.

Expected Value (Mean)

The expected value or mean of a continuous random variable is a measure of its central tendency. It is calculated by integrating the product of the variable and its probability density function over the defined interval, providing the average or expected outcome of the random process.

Variance

Variance is a statistical measure that quantifies the spread of a random variable's values around the mean. It is calculated by integrating the squared difference between the variable and its mean, weighted by the probability density function. A larger variance indicates a wider spread of data.

Standard Deviation

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance and provides a measure of dispersion in the same units as the variable. It is widely used to understand the spread of data points around the mean and serves as an indicator of the typical distance from the mean.
