It shows the relative likelihood for the random variable to take on a value. We can tell from the chart student is somewhat more likely to have a height near 1.8 m than 1.7 m, and far more likely to have a height of 1.9 m vs 1.4 m. Put another way, many students will have a height near 1.8 m, and very few students will have a height of 1.4 m or 1.9 meaters. Finally, notice that the curve is centered over the mean of 1.8 m.\n",
