Line 1:

A cumulative density function (cdf) has the same x-axis as a probability density function (pdf), but the y-axis is the probability of being at that point or lower.

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

* [[probability density function]], and

* [[cumulative distribution function]].

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