Continuous Random Variables
Finding the Mean, E(X) and the Variance Var(X)
In this tutorial you are shown the formulae that are used to calculate the mean, E(X) and the variance Var(X) for a continuous random variable by comparing the results for a discrete random variable. There is a brief reminder of what a discrete random variable is at the start.
