#reading-10-common-probability-distributions
The probability density function, which has the symbol f(x), does not give probabilities, despite its name. Instead, it is the area between the graph and the horizontal axis that gives probabilities. Because of this, the height of f(x) is not restricted to the range 0 to 1, and the graph, which in itself is not a probability, is unrestricted as far as its height is concerned.

Subject 2. Probability Function
inuous random variables, the probability function is denoted f(x) and called probability density function (pdf), or just the density. This function is effectively the continuous analogue of the discrete probability function p(x). <span>The probability density function, which has the symbol f(x), does not give probabilities, despite its name. Instead, it is the area between the graph and the horizontal axis that gives probabilities. Because of this, the height of f(x) is not restricted to the range 0 to 1, and the graph, which in itself is not a probability, is unrestricted as far as its height is concerned. From this information, it follows that the area under the entire graph (i.e., between the graph and the x-axis) must equal 1, because this area encapsulates all the pro
