12.5% is the percentage of numbers randomly generated by Taylor's computer that is less than 0.5.
An illustration of a numerical distribution with continuous results is a density curve. A density curve is, in other words, the graph of a continuous distribution. This implies that density curves can represent continuous quantities like time and weight rather than discrete events like rolling a die (which would be discrete). As seen by the bell-shaped "normal distribution," density curves either lie above or on a horizontal line (one of the most common density curves).
The percentage of numbers randomly generated by Taylor's computer are less than 0.5 is given by
