IMF used in the present work (solid line), as in the parametrization by Kroupa (2001, 2002) and Weidner & Kroupa (2006). Being a PDF, it can have values larger than one; the probabilities are given by the integral over the PDF. We also plot the probability that a star has a mass in the m,m + 1 M⊙ range, which is lower than one (dashed line). This probability declines rapidly when m is larger than mup − 1 M⊙.
