Normal Distribution PDF
Returns the value of the normal distribution probability density function at X.
If μ and σ are not specified, μ = 0 and σ = 1 are used.
If X is a list, a list of corresponding values is returned.

Normal distribution
To calculate probabilities for a normal distribution, you can first define the probability density function using normPdf 5: Probability > 5: Distributions > 1: Normal Pdf..., and compute the result with an integral. The same result can be obtained more directly using the guided normCdf function 5: Probability > 5: Distributions > 2: Normal Cdf....
Equations related to the normal distribution
The guided normCdf command, found in the menu 5: Probability > 5: Distributions > 2: Normal Cdf..., allows you to calculate probabilities. Combined with solve, you can find missing values such as upper bound, mean, or standard deviation. Some equations require an initial guess to find a solution. Alternatively, you can use the density function and an integral.
