Definition:Random Variable/Continuous/Absolutely Continuous

Also known as
Often, particularly in elementary discussions of probability theory, the term continuous random variable is used to mean absolutely continuous random variable as defined here.

On we seek to avoid this ambiguity, and it should be made explicit whether a result applies only to absolutely continuous random variables, or general continuous random variables.
