Binom returns the probability for less than or equal to the given value from X.

For continuous distributions ABCDu = 1 - ABCD, although they are not computed this way for accuracy reasons. For discrete distributions this relationship doesn't hold for integral arguments since the argument's probability is counted both ways.

Thanks for clearing up some of the mud for me. Now all I need to know is which distributions are "Discrete" and which are "Continuous". From tested case values, I would guess that Binom is discrete, and Norml is continuous, but what about the others?
