A mixed probability distribution combines a discrete probability distribution with a continuous probability distribution. For example, put probability 1/4 at zero and probability 3/4 into a uniform distribution on (0,1). Its cumulative distribution function is 0 for x<0, 1/4+3x/4 for 0≤x<1, and 1 for x≥1. The jump at zero and the continuous increase both contribute; neither an ordinary probability density function alone nor a probability mass function alone describes the whole law.
