A probability density function assigns a probability value for each point in the domain of the random variable. The probability distribution assigns the same probability to subsets of that domain.

The formula, if any, depends on the probability distribution function for the variable. In the case of a discrete variable, X, this defines the probability that X = x. For a continuous variable, the probability density function is a continuous function, f(x), such that Pr(a < X < b) is the area under the function f, between a and b (or the definite integral or f, with respect to x, between a and b.
The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution that describes the distribution of real-valued random variables that are distributed around some mean value.The Poisson distribution is a discrete probability distribution that describes the distribution of the number of events that occur within repeated fixed time intervals, where the mean frequency is a known value, and each interval is independent of the prior interval(s)/event(s).
