In the probability density function convention used here, a random variable has a nonnegative probability density function , with , such that for every Borel set ,
In particular, its cumulative distribution function is and individual points have probability zero. More precisely, this property is the statement that the distribution is an absolutely continuous probability distribution; continuity of the cumulative distribution function alone is a weaker property and need not imply a probability density function.
