Key Concepts in Probability Distributions and Statistical Analysis
Continuous Probability Distributions
A continuous distribution is a type of probability distribution in which the random variable can take any value within a given range or interval. Unlike discrete distributions that deal with countable outcomes, continuous distributions describe data that can vary infinitely, such as height, weight, temperature, or time.
These distributions are represented using a Probability Density Function (PDF). Probabilities are calculated over intervals, since the probability

Part I: Scriptwriting and Narrative Structure
What is a Script?
- A script is the blueprint of a film.
- It tells the story in a way that animators, voice actors, and editors can follow.

Proteins: Structure and Function
Proteins are complex molecules made up of amino acids. They perform various functions in the body, such as:
- Structural support (e.g., collagen)
- Enzymatic activity (e.g., lactase)
- Transport (e.g., hemoglobin)
- Defense (e.g., antibodies)
Classification of Proteins
- Based on Structure:
- Fibrous proteins (e.g., collagen)
- Globular proteins (e.g., enzymes, antibodies)
- Based on Function:
- Enzymes
- Hormones
- Structural proteins
- Transport proteins
- Defense proteins

Foundations of Teaching Reading
Reading is a receptive skill focused on understanding written texts. It consists of two related processes:
- Word Recognition: The process of perceiving how written symbols correspond to one’s spoken language.
- Comprehension: The process of making sense of words, sentences, and connected text. Readers utilize background knowledge, vocabulary, and grammatical knowledge to achieve comprehension.
Kinds of Reading
Reading is typically classified into three kinds:
