Normal Probability Distribution
The function
1 (²
O√√2T
f(x) = -
is called the normal probability density function with the mean and standard deviation o. The
number tells where the distribution is centered, and o measures the "scatter" around the mean.
From the theory of probability, it is known that
f(x)dx=1.
In what follows, let μ = 0 and o=1.
