> Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulative_distribution_function
> Cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function
> The method currently named "cumulativeProbability(double,double)" in fact 
> provides the _probability_ of the variable to be within the given interval. 
> The name "probability" would thus be more accurate (and shorter).
