A probability distribution is continuous if its possible values are essentially some continuum.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continuous probability distribution is one in which the variable can take on any value within a range or interval, giving a continuum of possible values. This includes distributions such as the normal distribution and the uniform distribution. In contrast, a discrete probability distribution has a finite or countably infinite set of possible values, such as the binomial or Poisson distributions.
