Step-by-step

  1. z = (x − μ) / σ = (110 − 100) / 15 = 0.6667.
  2. PDF f(x) = (1 / (σ√(2π))) × e^(−z²/2) = 0.02129653.
  3. CDF Φ(z) ≈ 0.747508 (Abramowitz-Stegun approximation).

How to use this calculator

  • Enter x.
  • Enter μ and σ of the distribution.

About this calculator

The normal (Gaussian) distribution N(μ, σ²) is the bell curve. PDF f(x) = (1/(σ√(2π))) exp(−(x−μ)²/(2σ²)). CDF Φ(z) is the area to the left of z under the standard normal — the value used in p-values, confidence intervals, and percentiles. ~68% of values lie within 1σ of mean, 95% within 2σ, 99.7% within 3σ. The most fundamental distribution in statistics — central limit theorem makes sample means approximately normal.

Frequently asked

Standardized value: (x − μ) / σ. Tells you how many standard deviations x is from the mean.
