  Some key points to remember:
767
 
768
- PDFs give us relative likelihood, not actual probabilities - that's why they can exceed 1
769
- The probability between two points is the area under the PDF curve
770
- CDFs offer a convenient shortcut to find probabilities without integrating
771
- Expectation and variance work similarly to discrete variables, just with integrals instead of sums
772
- Constants in PDFs are determined by ensuring the total probability equals 1
773
 
774
  This foundation will serve you well as we explore specific continuous distributions like normal, exponential, and beta in future notebooks. These distributions are the workhorses of probability theory and statistics, appearing everywhere from quality control to financial modeling.
