The continuous curve y = f(x) is called probability curve ; and when this is symmetrical, the distribution
is said to be symmetrical. Clearly, the probability density function possesses the following properties:
(i) f(x)  0 for every x in the interval [a, b], a < b

Let A be a m × n matrix. If there exists a matrix L of type n × m such that LA = n, then L is called left
inverse of A. Similarly, if there exists a matrix R of type n × m such that AR = m, then R is called right
inverse of A.
