f(x)=1σ2πe−(x−μ)22σ2f(x) = \dfrac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}} for −∞<x<∞-\infty < x < \infty.

A continuous random variable XX is said to follow a normal distribution with parameters mean μ\mu and standard deviation σ\sigma (σ>0\sigma > 0) if its probability density function is

f(x)=1σ2π e−(x−μ)22σ2,−∞<x<∞f(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}}\, e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}, \qquad -\infty < x < \infty
