amriju · Answer

yes..but why not the value of the function at that point??..Is there a logic or its the way it is defined

dan815 · Answer

its the probability of that point we are  concerned about

dan815 · Answer

think about it like in terms of dice

amriju · Answer

dice is discreet i think

dan815 · Answer

dice is not a continous probaility distrubution function

dan815 · Answer

because it has 6 points only defined on the integer values

amriju · Answer

yes

dan815 · Answer

so what if there was a side for every fraction value inbetween in the integers

dan815 · Answer

there would be infinite sides

amriju · Answer

Fine..

dan815 · Answer

then the probability of say the number 'x' landing would be
1/infinity

dan815 · Answer

so would the value of x being infinity matter in the probability of landing on infinity

amriju · Answer

but in overall we would have a finite value for a continous set of values..I think i get it..thnks
