Line 145:
So we need to establish consistency of notation -- either use F<sub>X</sub> ''every'' time we mention a cdf "of X", or else never. Your thoughts? [[User:Duoduoduo|Duoduoduo]] ([[User talk:Duoduoduo|talk]]) 15:08, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
:In the literature both <math>F_X</math> and <math>F</math> are used, the latter for ease of notation, and only if there is no confusion about the random variable. In the examples you mention there is not always an inconsistency. In the first one you're right, but if it reads: If the CDF ''F'' of ''X'' ..., it merely states <math>F_X=F</math>, where <math>F</math> is some specified function.
