cumulative probability distribution

a graphical representation of a set of data that displays along the vertical y-axis the chance that a case picked at random from that set will have a value less than or equal to the corresponding value on the horizontal x-axis. When the variable of interest has discrete or categorical whole-integer values, as with the number of students in a class, the cumulative probability distribution also may be called a cumulative probability function.
