I had seen this question, but was not able to find such "continous probability" stuff in my books, could anyone refer me to some resources that could help me in learning this? I tried to search continous probability but that yielded probability distributions which I am not sure is the same thing.

  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
    +close
  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

I believe in this case the author is referring to the problem as being continuous, as opposed to a discrete problem. The "classical" discrete probability is just taken to be "number of favorauble outcomes"/"number all outcomes" and is usually represented as sizes of finite sets.

In this case, the number of favourable outcomes is what is called a measure.

This is the first chapter to "Probability theory" and it goes through the formal definition of what probability is
