Walpole ch06

Chapter 6 covers various continuous probability distributions, including the uniform, normal, gamma, exponential, chi-squared, beta, lognormal, and Weibull distributions. It presents theorems, definitions, and applications related to these distributions, along with visual aids such as figures and tables. The chapter also addresses potential misconceptions and relationships to material in other chapters.
