Learning Objectives:

Understand PDFs and CDFs for continuous RVs
Calculate probabilities as integrals
Work with uniform and exponential distributions

PDF vs PMF

For continuous $X$ , probability is density, not mass: $P(a leq X leq b) = int_a^b f_X(x) , dx$

Note: $P(X = x) = 0$ for any specific $x$ !
