Different types of Probability distribution can be classified, on the basis of the two types:
- Probability Mass Function (PMF) - Discrete Random Variables
- Probability Density Function (PDF) - Continuous Random Variables
Explanation in depth on PMF and PDF: Mass & Density Fns.

Use of Distribution Functions
Example:
- Features/Labels can be classified into discrete/continuous, to categorise and provide more insights on data.
