For example, we may have a random variable that is uniformly distributed so we could use the Uniform distribution that looks like a rectangle. We may want to model the average time it takes for a component to be manufactured and use the bell-shaped Student t-distribution.

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
