📖 Abstract
Continuous distributions play a cardinal role in statistical analysis and modeling, particularly in those areas that strongly depend on the approximation of real-world phenomena. This proposal explores the use of continuous distributions in various numerical and simulation-based examples, after which it looks at practical applications and benefits concerning the estimation of probabilities and modeling of the behavior of data. The five concrete cases that the research looks into are normal approximations to binomial and Poisson distributions, estimation of stock returns using log-normal distribution, and the analysis of physical systems. By availing itself of the facilities provided by continuous distributions, the study underlines the ability to reach more accurate results, as opposed to discrete distribution or raw data in cases where the latter is less handy. The work shows the importance of continuous distributions through an analysis of accuracy, computational efficiency, and interpretability in real-world applications such as finance, physics, and quality control. The conclusions of the conditions where continuous distributions can perform best are drawn. Suggestions toward the best way of best practices to include them into complex modeling scenarios have also been suggested.
