Intro to Biostatistics
A probability density function (PDF) is a statistical function that describes the likelihood of a continuous random variable taking on a specific value. It provides a way to represent probabilities in terms of areas under a curve, where the total area under the curve equals one. The PDF is crucial for understanding how probabilities are distributed across different values and is used to calculate probabilities for intervals rather than specific outcomes.
