I just can't grok this yet, I ran into it in a textbook and it still confuses the hell out of me

so just imagine a uniform distribution between eg 0 and 1 you make one draw from that distribution Say you get 0.728502174 The probability of getting a value in a given range is the area under the pdf for that range Area under a curve at a point when the curve is finite is 0

So, the probability of any particular draw is zero under a continuous distribution, but conditional on pdf(X) > 0 it's still possible
