We can also construct a cumulative distribution function for a random variable. A cumulative distribution function gives the probability that the random variable X is less than or equal to x, for every value x. In case of discrete random variables, the cumulative distribution function is the sum of the probabilities of all outcomes unto and including the specific outcome x.
