*Suppose cu is TRUE, this function gives the cumulative distribution, and it is FALSE, this function give the probability mass function.  
 
*Suppose cu is TRUE, this function gives the cumulative distribution, and it is FALSE, this function give the probability mass function.  
*The equation for the normal distribution is:<math> f(x,\mu,\sigma)=1/σsqrt(2pi()).e^-{(x-μ)^2/2σ^2}</math>, where \mu is the mean of the distribution,\sigma is the standard deviation of the distribution.
