Continuous Random Variable

A continuous random variable can take any value within an interval, including decimals, so its outcomes cannot be listed one by one. Examples include height, time, or mass.

Because single values have zero probability, we work with probabilities over ranges, as in the normal distribution.

Where it appears in Add Math

You meet Continuous Random Variable in the Probability Distribution chapter of SPM Additional Mathematics. Knowing the term precisely matters in the exam: questions often hinge on reading a keyword correctly, and because SPM marking is analytic, using the right definition in your working helps secure method marks.

Our teachers make sure a student can not only recite what Continuous Random Variable means but use it fluently in a full solution.

The term in three languages

Because the SPM Add Math paper is bilingual (BM/EN), it helps to know this term in each language: Continuous Random Variable (EN) · Pemboleh ubah Rawak Selanjar (BM) · 连续随机变量 (中文)
