A continuous random variable can take on any value at any point along a given interval. This variable is a real number. Continuous data is measured.

Continuous Random Variable Examples

A probability density function characterizes continuous random variables by assigning a probability density, rather than an exact probability, to possible values. Since the exact probability of any single continuous value is zero, determining the probability that the variable falls within a specific interval requires calculating the definite integral of the density function over that interval.
