Let X be a continuous random variable and f its probability density function (pdf). The pdf tells you “how X is distributed”. From the pdf you can calculate the mean and variance of X (if they exist) and the probability that X will take on values in a certain interval. The pdf is, thus, very useful to characterize the distribution of the random variable X.
