I have included two links. A normal random variable is a random variable whose associated probability distribution is the normal probability distribution. By definition, a random variable has to have an associated distribution. The normal distribution (probability density function) is defined by a mathematical formula with a mean and standard deviation as parameters. The normal distribution is ofter called a bell-shaped curve, because of its symmetrical shape. It is not the only symmetrical distribution. The two links should provide more information beyond this simple definition.

Define continuous random evevt?

Usually we consider a random variable which assigns a value to the outcome of an event. The value assigned to the outcome can be either discrete or continuous. The continuous random variable is a random variable whose domain is defined over a continuous range. Examples: Daily inches of rain, speed of cars on highway, purchases made everyday at grocery stores.

If x = 1 then X is not really a random variable but a constant.
