Understanding Cumulative Distribution Functions for Discrete and Continuous Variables, Lecture notes of Statistics

An overview of cumulative distribution functions for discrete and continuous variables. It explains the difference between the less than and more than cumulative functions for discrete variables, which are represented as step functions, and continuous variables, which are represented as points joined by segments. The document also mentions the use of bar charts or f and n for discrete variables and histograms for continuous variables.

  • Statistics chap

Called frequency

  • So a little recap:
    • Discrete variable: The cumulative more than and less than distribution will be

represented as a graphic of a step function

  • Continuous variable: the cumulative more than and less than distribution will

be represented as points joined by segments

  • Bar chart or f and n in discrete variable
  • Histogram for f and n in continuous variable
