Continuous Random Variable
When random variable X takes values on an interval
For example GPA of students X [0, 4]High day temperature in Mobile X ( 20,∞)Recall in case of discrete variables a simple event
was described as (X = k) and then we can compute P(X = k) which is called probability mass function
In case of continuous variable we make a change in the definition of an event.

Continuous Random VariableLet X [0,4], then there are infinite number of
values which x may take. If we assign probability to each value then
P(X=k) 0 for a continuous variableIn this case we define an event as (x-x ≤ X ≤ x+x ) where x is a very tiny
increment in x. And thus we assign the probability to this event
P(x-x ≤ X ≤ x+x ) = f(x) dxf(x) is called probability density function (pdf)

Standard Normal Distribution
• The letter Z is traditionally used to represent a standard normal random variable.
• z is used to represent a particular value of Z.• The standard normal distribution has been
tabularized.

(e) P( 0.90 < Z < k) = .1806

Normal Distribution
• Any normal random variable, X, can be converted to a standard normal random variable:
z = (x – μx)/x

Relationship between the Normal and Binomial Distributions
• The normal distribution is often a good approximation to a discrete distribution when the discrete distribution takes on a symmetric bell shape.
• Some distributions converge to the normal as their parameters approach certain limits.
• Theorem 6.2: If X is a binomial random variable with mean μ = np and variance 2 = npq, then the limiting form of the distribution of Z = (X – np)/(npq).5 as n , is the standard normal distribution, n(z;0,1).

Key Property: Memorylessness
• Reliability: Amount of time a component has been in service has no effect on the amount of time until it fails
• Inter-event times: Amount of time since the last event contains no information about the amount of time until the next event
• Service times: Amount of remaining service time is independent of the amount of service time elapsed so far

Exponential Distribution
The exponential distribution is a very commonly used distribution in reliability engineering. Due to its simplicity, it has been widely employed even in cases to which it does not apply. The exponential distribution is used to describe units that have a constant failure rate. The single-parameter exponential pdf is given by:
where: · λ = constant failure rate, in failures per unit of measurement, e.g. failures per hour, per
cycle, etc.· λ = .1/m· m = mean time between failures, or to a failure.· T = operating time, life or age, in hours, cycles, miles, actuations, etc. This distribution requires the estimation of only one parameter, , for its application.

Joint probabilities
For discrete joint probability density function (joint pdf) of a k-dimensional discrete random variable X = (X1, X2, …,Xk) is
defined to be f(x1,x2,…,xk) = P(X1 = x1, X2 = x2 , …,Xk = xk) for all possible values x = (x1,x2,…,xk) in X.
Let (X, Y) have the joint probability function specified in the following table
