Using the above definition for z , the cumulative distribution function (CDF) can be found as follows:
Substituting the definition of the Faddeeva function (scaled complex error function) yields for the indefinite integral:
which may be solved to yield
where  is a hypergeometric function. In order for the function to approach zero as x approaches negative infinity (as the CDF must do), an integration constant of 1/2 must be added. This gives for the CDF of Voigt:
