Normal distribution

Random variables of many natural phenomena are modeled by the normal distribution. The
normal distribution has the probability density:

2
Where μ is the mean of the distribution and σ is the variation of the distribution. The graph
of the normal distribution has a shape of a bell curve, e.g. confer the graph underneath of
the normal distribution with the mean 10 and the standard deviation 2.
