<p>Probability is measured by the area under the curve.</p>
<p><img src="/posts/875a/Finding_Normal_Probabilities.png" alt=""></p>
<p>Uniform Distribution: a continuous probability distribution in which the probability of observing a value x in any interval of equal length is the same for each interval of the same length. Also known as rectangular distribution.</p>
<p>Exponential Distribution: a continuous probability distribution that is used to describe the time between events that occur at a constant average rate and are independent of each other. The exponential distribution is skewed to the right.</p>
