Solution

The function associated with a continuous random variable is the Probability Density Function (pdf).

Here's why:

  1. PMF (Probability Mass Function) is associated with discrete random variables. It gives the probability that a discrete random variable is exactly equal to some value.

  2. PMV is not a standard abbreviation in statistics, so it's not applicable here.

  3. PDF (Probability Density Function) is associated with continuous random variables. It describes the likelihood of a random variable to take on a specific value. However, for continuous variables, the probability at a specific point is technically zero. The PDF is used to define the probability over an interval.

  4. "All of the above" is not correct because only PDF is associated with continuous random variables.

So, the correct answer is PDF.
