Computing the cumulative distribution function for a random variable

In the previous section, we looked at the probability distribution of a continuous random variable.

In the next section, we will consider the cumulative distribution of a continuous random variable.

How to do it...

The cumulative distribution function (CDF) of a random variable is calculated as follows:

The CDF of a continuous random variable is calculated in a way similar to that in which we calculate the pdf of a continuous random variable.

The following code snippet calculates the CDF of a variable:

1. Import the relevant packages:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from scipy.stats import norm

2. Calculate the CDF of the variable:

gaussian...
