In the limit to very small ranges $\Delta x$ the probability of
getting a measurement between $x_0$ and $x_0+\Delta x$ scales down to
zero with $\Delta x$:
\[ P(x_0<x<x_0+\Delta x) \approx p(x_0) \cdot \Delta x \; . \]
In here the quantity $p(x_00)$ is a so called \enterm{probability
density} that is larger than zero and that describes the
distribution of the data values. The probability density is not a
unitless probability with values between 0 and 1, but a number that
takes on any positive real number and has as a unit the inverse of the
unit of the data values --- hence the name ``density''.
