        Cumulative distribution 
        
        - A function that maps each value of a random variable to 
        the probability that the random variable is less than or equal to that 
        value. The function begins at 0 and rises to 1 as you move to the right 
        (or, less commonly from 1 to 0 as you move to the left).
