The median of a distribution occurs where the function reaches a cumulative probability of 0.5.

A useful property of cumulative distribution functions is that any point on the y axis gives the integrated area (cumulative probability) under the curve.

However, over time, the cumulative probability of a chance encounter with a star increases, and disruption of the planets becomes all but inevitable.

The cumulative probability of impact is dependent on poorly known physical properties of the object, but is not higher than 0.07% for all eight encounters.

Thus, to test whether two variables are statistically dependent, one computes , and finds the cumulative probability for a standard normal distribution at .

But 1 in 9 is the cumulative probability that any woman will develop breast cancer sometime between birth and age 110.

In this method the cumulative probability needs to be estimated by the plotting position.

The cumulative probability is determined by adding one hand's probability with the probabilities of all hands above it.

We select as many rows starting from the top as are necessary to give a cumulative probability of and then calculate an expectation over those cases.

It can be understood as bounds on the cumulative probability associated with any x-value.
