A continuous distrubution is a probability dustrubution awhen the underlying value is continuous, for example a height or period of time. Usually there is a zero probability of being any particlar value, instead it is a probability density'a value of 0..3 at 1.7 metres, is interpreted to mean that in a small area around 1.7 (say 1.6 to 1.8, the probability of bing in the range is 0.3 times the width of the range (0.2) that is 0.06.
