How to Calculate Normal Distribution
Find probabilities and values using the normal distribution.
The Formula
z = (x-μ)/σ, look up Φ(z)The normal distribution formula uses the mathematical relationship: z = (x-μ)/σ, look up Φ(z). Each variable in the formula represents a measurable quantity that affects the final result.
Step-by-Step Method
- 1Identify all input values needed for the normal distribution calculation.
- 2Substitute your known values into the formula: z = (x-μ)/σ, look up Φ(z).
- 3Perform the arithmetic operations in the correct order (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
- 4Check that your result has the correct units and is within a reasonable range.
- 5Verify using the interactive Normal Distribution Calculator to confirm your answer.
