The probability is zero.
Explanation:
If a random variable(say X) is continuous , it is has a corresponding probability density function f(x) that is defined as:
P (X≤a)= -∞afxdx ……….i
where -∞<a<∞.
According to the standard Kolmogorov axioms of probability,
-∞∞fxdx=1…………………..ii
This is because the probability of the sample space is always unity.
Moreover, f(x)≥0.
The possibility that X takes on a specific value a is given by:
P(X=a)= Number of favorable outcomes
Number of possible outcomes
=aafxdx / -∞∞fxdx = 0/1=0 (from equations i and ii)
The area under the graph of the probability density function is 0 if the interval shrinks to a single point.
