Continuous Probability Distributions

This document discusses different types of probability distributions including discrete and continuous uniform distributions. It provides examples of coin flips, die rolls, and bus arrival times to illustrate discrete probabilities and uses the example of bus arrival times measured in 1-minute intervals to demonstrate a continuous uniform distribution. The document also discusses a problem involving television commercial lengths and aims to convey a lesson about distinguishing between discrete and continuous probability distributions.
