Chapter 7 Models for continuous random variables

As with discrete random variables, there are a number of ‘standard’ continuous random variables. In this chapter we give the details of some of the main ones that you are likely to see in subsequent study of Probability and Statistics.

7.1 Uniform Distribution: ${\rm U}(a,b)$

7.2 Exponential Distribution: ${\rm Exp}(\beta)$

7.3 Gamma Distribution: ${\rm Gamma}(\alpha,\beta)$

7.4 Normal Distribution: ${\mathcal{N}}(\mu,\sigma^{2})$ (non-examinable)
