NORMDIST
Syntax:
NORMDIST ( x , mean , standard-deviation , cumulative-flag )
Description: Computes the normal distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.
Mathematical Formula:
The equation for the normal density function (cumulative-flag = FALSE
) is:
When cumulative-flag = TRUE
, the formula is the integral from negative infinity to x of the given formula.
