Normal distribution (continuous probability distribution that is symmetric and bell-shaped)

quantity

Available identifiers

Also known as Gaussian Distribution

A selection of Normal Distribution Probability Density Functions (PDFs). Both the mean, μ, and variance, σ², are varied. The key is given on the graph.

Defining Formula: $φ (z) \equiv \frac{1}{σ \sqrt{2 π}} e^{- (z - μ)^{2} / (2 σ^{2})}$
$μ$ symbol represents expectation
$σ$ symbol represents variance
$e$ symbol represents Euler's Number
$π$ symbol represents Pi
$φ$ symbol represents normal distribution
