Abstract
This chapter introduced special continuous random variables including uniform random variable, exponential random variable, normal random variable, standard normal random variable, and other continuous random variables including gamma random variable, lognormal random variable, and Weibull random variable. The standard normal random variable approximation to a binomial random variable has also been provided. The formulae of the basic parameters for each continuous random variable have been given, and several typical examples and problems have been presented for each continuous random variable.
