This density function is intended to express mathematically the total apportionment of the values of the variable it represents over its entire [[domain]].  It is necessary to express probability this way for a variable or parameter which may take on a continuum of values, so that the total probability covering the entire domain of support may converge to a finite value.  The counterpart for a discretely distributed variable is the [[probability mass function]].
