La représentation graphique de la fonction de répartition est la courbe cumulative. Dans le cas d'une variable discrète, on l'appelle encore courbe en escalier à cause de sa forme: elle présente des marches (ou sauts) aux points d'abscisse [x souscrit i] correspondant aux valeurs possibles de la variable. La fonction de répartition est l'équivalent, pour les variables aléatoires, de la fonction cumulative de fréquence pour les variables statistiques. 3, record 2, French, - fonction%20de%20r%C3%A9partition
