For every probability distribution function f(x), there is a corresponding cumulative distribution function (CDF), denoted by F(x) and defined as:
Table 4-3. Dice example
The expression on the right means to sum all the values of f(u) for u ≤ x.
The CDF for the dice example is shown in Table 4-3, and its histogram is shown in Figure 4-6:
