Line 1:

'''''Cumulative density function''''' is a self-contradictory phrase resulting from confusion between:

A Cumulative Density Function is a unit function that returns the probability that a real-valued random variable X (with a given probability distribution) will be found at a value less than or equal to x

* [[probability density function]], and

• AKA: CDF, Cumulative Distribution, Cumulative Distribution Function

* [[cumulative distribution function]].

The two words ''cumulative'' and ''density'' contradict each other.
