4. Continuous Random Variable 连续型随机变量 Continuous random variables appear when we deal will quantities that are measured on a continuous scale. For instance, when we measure the speed of a car, the amount of alcohol in a persons blood, the tensile strength of new alloy. We shall learn how to determine and work with probabilities relating to continuous random variables in this chapter. We shall introduce to the concept of the probability density function. 4.1 Continuous Random Variable 1. Definition Definition 4.1.1 A function f(x) defined on is called a probability density function （概
