Normal Distribution

The probability density of normal distribution is:

Here,

  • is the mean (or expectation) of the distribution. It is also equal to median and mode of the distribution.
  • is the variance.
  • is the standard deviation.

Standard Normal Distribution

If and , then the normal distribution is known as standard normal distribution:



Every normal distribution can be represented as standard normal distribution:



Cumulative Probability

Consider a real-valued random variable, . The cumulative distribution function of (or just the distribution function of ) evaluated at is the probability that will take a value less than or equal to :

Also,

The cumulative distribution function for a function with normal distribution is:

Where is the error function:
