For a probability density function (pdf), the probability of a single point is_____________?
Correct answer: C. 0
- A. 1
- B. 2
- C. 0
- D. Constant
Explanation
For a continuous random variable, probability is assigned to intervals, not individual points, so P(X = x) = 0. A single point has zero width under the probability density curve.
