Definition
For a continuous random variable; characterized by values that are spread evenly over the range of probabilities. The graph of a continuous uniform distribution results in a rectangular shape.
Term
Density Curve
Definition
The graph of a continuous probability distribution must satisfy the following;
-the total area under the curve must equal 1
-every point on the curve must have a vertical height that is 0 or greater
Term
Standard Normal Distribution
Definition
Has three properties;
-the graph is bell-shaped
-its mean is equal to 0 ; μ = 0
-its standard deviation is equal to 1 ; σ = 1
