  7. probability theory - Why does a C.D.F need to be right-continuous ...

    May 10, 2019 · Of course, the CDF of the always-zero random variable $0$ is the right-continuous unit step function, which differs from the above function only at the point of discontinuity at $x=0$.

  8. real analysis - Are Continuous Functions Always Differentiable ...

    Oct 26, 2010 · An interesting fact is that most (i.e. a co-meager set of) continuous functions are nowhere differentiable. The proof is a consequence of the Baire Category theorem and can be found (as an …
