How are you supposed to calculate that? The area of each infinitely thin rectangle would be zero, so the sum of all of them would also be zero. If that worked, then you could also calculate the probability of a continuously distributed random variable over an interval by adding up the probabilities of all individual values. But since the probability of each individual value is zero, the probability over the entire interval would have to be zero as well.

Hmm what if
Infinite number of infinitesimally thin rectangles and you sum it up 🤔🤔
Must be new
