Expectation & Variance (continuous)

The mathematics of uncertainty

Everything you learned about expectation and variance carries over to continuous variables. You just swap the sum for an integral. The PMF weight p(x) becomes the density f(x) dx, and "add over all values" becomes "integrate over the line."
