Gilles commented on MATH-839:
-----------------------------
No. For consistency, it should be renamed too.
> In "RealDistribution" implementations, rename method
> "cumulativeProbability(double,double)" to "probability(double,double)"

> 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).
