Thanks for visiting NZMaths.
We are preparing to close this site and currently expect this to be in June 2024
but we are reviewing this timing due to the large volume of content to move and
improvements needed to make it easier to find different types of content on
Tāhūrangi.
We will update this message again shortly.

The variation in the values of a variable that can take any value in an (appropriately-sized) interval of numbers.
A continuous distribution may be an experimental distribution, a sample distribution or a theoretical distribution of a measurement variable. Although the recorded values in an experimental or sample distribution may be rounded, the distribution is usually still regarded as being continuous.
Example
The normal distribution is an example of a theoretical continuous distribution.
