Intuitive understanding of integrating a cumulative distribution function

107 Views Asked by At

In solving newsvendor type of problems I came to this idea of integration of the cumulative distribution function.

$$ \int_\infty^b F(x) \,dx $$

Is there an intuitive understanding of what this means? So integrating the probability density function is the probability that the value falls in the given interval. Does this integration of the cumulative distribution function have a meaning?
