[R] Cumulative probability from binomial distribution

[peter dalgaard]

It means that the probability of an outcome less than or equal to 0.10 is 0.6. 

0 is the only possible such outcome but that is not a problem for the definition, and it is fairly common to use cumulative distribution functions for discrete outcomes defined as right-continuous step functions on the real line.
