Basic Continuous Distributions

Abstract

The most simple distribution for a continuous random variable y is the rectangular, or uniform, distribution.

$$g\left( y \right) = \frac{1}{{b - a'}}{\text{ }}a \leqslant y \leqslant b.$$

There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward. Ovid (43 B.C.–17 A.D.)
