Probability Density Functions / Continuous Random Variables

Probability Density Functions / Continuous Random Variables. In this video, I give a very BRIEF discussion on probability density functions and continuous random variables. I mainly emphasize that to calculate probabilities, one must integrate!

I should be paying you my university tution... just amazing

[patrickJMT]

@Chaminade14 donations available on my website. do not send all your tuition though, i can not grant you that worthless piece of paper you will get at the end!

Not justifying, not justifying, not justifying........ You spend so much time talking about extra stuff rather than focusing on the problem itself. Do you really think people don't understand that the stated facts are basically valid for the context of the problem only, and perhaps modelling in real life would be much different? Don't get me wrong, I do hugely appreciate the time and effort you take to share these videos with us, but there is too much extraneous talk and distractions.

@godling2007 dont watch. better yet, make your own far superior videos and do the world a favor. otherwise, you are just being another internet troll.

i m searching for a video which explains how do computer generate random numbers... ! is this video i should be watching... or is it just about probability certainty etc.. etc..... ! ??

[patrickJMT]

@imranbug81 well this is clearly not the video you are looking for.

@TheAcehd go to class

[TheAcehd]

you make it possible for me not to go to class :- D

@patrickJMT It deserves to be worthless, but unfortunately, its required to prove what, potentially, can fit in your head. If it were worthless I would quit the maths modules I dislike studying right now!

You do statistics too? this is magic.

[lowdihigh]

how do you actually determine what the probability distribution function is? I know you set up an exponential function for time, but I'm confused as to how you went about determining that, because on some of the questions that my professor gives me, he asks me to determine the pdf.

Without PatrickJMT, there would be an increase in school violence lol. J/K Had to make another funny comment.

I have a probability professor with a SUPER thick accent making learning some of these key concepts rather difficult. I am an avid viewer of your videos and they help immensely.

@godling2007 for a person that needs detailed explanation to understand something, i had appreciate what patrick had done..makes me understand better

[Chaminade14]

@patrickJMT I agree with you, most of them are useless, heck they give out degrees in basketweaving nowadays. However, act sci is one of the more useful ones out there ;) One can acutally turn that degree into cold hard cash =)
