Cumulative Distribution Functions • The cumulative distribution function of a random variable X, written, F, indicates the probability that is at and to the left of each point x. • CDFs are defined for both discrete and continuous random variables.
CDFs for continuous RVs • If X is a continuous RV with density f, the cumulative distribution function of X is
