What is a random variable?

A random variable is a variable that defines the possible outcome values of an unexpected phenomenon. It is defined for both discrete and random variables. It is also used to specify the distribution of the multivariate random variables.

What is cumulative distribution function?

In Probability and Statistics, the Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of a real-valued random variable, say “X”, which is evaluated at x, is the probability that X takes a value less than or equal to the x. A random variable is a variable that defines the possible outcome values of an unexpected phenomenon. It is defined for both discrete and random variables. It is also used to specify the distribution of the multivariate random variables. If the random variable is above a particular level, it is known as tail distribution or the Complementary Cumulative Distribution Function (CCDF). In this article, you will understand what cumulative distribution function is, its properties, formulas, applications and examples.
