The mathematics of uncertainty
For continuous quantities like a height, a weight, or a pixel intensity, asking P(X = 3.0000…) is hopeless: there are infinitely many values, so any single one has probability zero. Instead we describe how probability is spread with a probability density function f(x), and read off probabilities as areas.
