Summary

In this part of the book, we repeat the material in Part II, but this time we focus on continuous random variables, which can take on an uncountable number of values. Continuous random variables are very relevant to computer systems – how else can we model response time, for example? Working in continuous time also allows us to leverage everything we know about calculus.
