Probability Density Functions is a section of the VCE Maths Methods topic Probability and Statistics and subtopic Continuous Random Variables. Here we will understand and use the concepts of a probability density function of a continuous random variable. This includes the following:
- Know the two properties of a probability density function
- Define the probability as the area under the graph of the probability density function
- Examine simple types of continuous random variables and use them in appropriate contexts
- Explore properties of a random variable that is uniformly distributed
- Find the mode from a given probability density function
So What is a PDF?
This video will introduce the idea of a probability density function.
This video explains how to construct a probability function for random variables.
The next video explains why continuous variables are important for probability distribution functions.
Examples…
This video provides an application for PDF’s.
