51 PDF vs CDF

In this econometrics introduction, we demystify the probability density function (pdf) and the cumulative distribution function (cdf), addressing a common misconception about height versus area in probability. You'll learn why the height of a curve doesn't represent probability, and where probability truly resides. This video clarifies the relationship between pdf and cdf, explaining how the cdf accumulates area under the pdf to represent probabilities. Understand how to interpret these functions for inference and why areas are crucial when dealing with probabilities and concepts like p-values.
