The normal distribution is another name for the bell curve probability distribution. The normal probability density function (PDF) is
- <math>
f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} \exp\left[-\frac{1}{2\sigma^2}\left(x-\mu\right)^2\right] </math> where <math>\mu</math> is the mean and <math>\sigma^2</math> is the variance.
