C)probability density function.
D)linear function.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The probability density function (PDF) is a function that describes the relative likelihood for a random variable to take on a given value. It can be used to find the probability that the random variable falls within a specific range by integrating the PDF over that range. The expected value is the average value of a random variable, the uniform distribution is a specific type of probability distribution, and a linear function is simply a function of the form f(x) = mx + b.
