Probability distribution is a function that gives the outcome of an event, to their corresponding probabilities. For example, in rolling a fair dice, with $6$ sides, $P(2)$ would be $\frac {1}{2}$.

General Symbols/Definitions

Distributions give a general description of what the probabilities and events look like. The sample space, which is represented like $\Omega$, represents the set of all possible outcomes. For example, $\Omega =$ {$1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$} would represent the sample space of rolling a die.

The difference between Discrete and Continuous, is that discrete has a finite possible number of outcomes, and continuous has an infinite number of outcomes, like measuring the weight of block of cheese, it could be $591.12478$ or it could be $392.057721566490153286060651209008240243$.
