Full name
statistics.NormalDist.cdf
Library
statistics
Syntax
statistics.NormalDist.cdf(x)
Description
The cdf ("Cumulative Distribution Function") method of an object of type statistics.NormalDist returns the probability that the random variable being considered takes a value less than or equal to the value x passed as an argument. Mathematically it is written with the expression P(X ≤ x).
Parameters
- x: Value with respect to which you want to calculate the probability.
Result
The statistics.NormalDist.cdf method returns a value of type float.
Examples
If we start from the following normal distribution:
dist = statistics.NormalDist(mu = 5, sigma = 2)
...we can obtain the probability that the variable takes a value equal to or less than 8 with the following code:
dist.cdf(x = 8)
0.9331927987311419
