Continuous Random Variables

Explore the fundamental concepts of continuous random variables in this comprehensive 1.5-hour lecture. Delve into probability density functions, uniform distribution, and cumulative distribution functions. Learn about expectation and variance for continuous random variables, and examine specific distributions including exponential, gamma, chi-squared, and normal. Gain a solid understanding of these essential statistical concepts through clear explanations and practical examples provided by Professor Knudson.
