6: Continuous Random Variables and the Normal Distribution

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

Continuous random variables have many applications. Baseball batting averages, IQ scores, the length of time a long distance telephone call lasts, the amount of money a person carries, the length of time a computer chip lasts, and SAT scores are just a few. The field of reliability depends on a variety of continuous random variables.
