NORMALDISTRIBUTED(x,m,sd)

• $x$ is the value for which distribution is evaluated.
• $m$ is the mean.
• $sd$ is the standard deviation.

Description

• This function gives the value of the normal probability distribution.
• It is the continuous probability distribution.
• The normal distributions are a very important class of statistical distributions.
• All normal distributions are symmetric and have bell-shaped density curves with a single peak.
• The term bell curve is used to describe the mathematical concept called normal distribution.
• It is also called as Gaussian distribution.
• The Normal Distribution has: mean = median = mode
• i.e., This distribution is symmetry about the center.
• Half of values less than the mean and half of values greater than the mean.
• In a normal distribution the probability values are satisfying the following conditions:

 1. The total area under the curve is equal to 1 (100%) 
 2. About 68% of the area under the curve falls within 1 standard deviation.
 3. About 95% of the area under the curve falls within 2 standard deviations.
 4. About 99.7% of the area under the curve falls within 3 standard deviations. 

• In a normal distribution the mean =0 and standard deviation =1,then the distribution is called the standard normal distribution or the unit normal distribution, and a random variable with that distribution is a standard normal deviate.
• It is the only absolutely continuous distribution.
• A normal distribution is calculated by

RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION(Number, RandomNumber, Distribution, NewTableFlag, Mean, StandardDeviation)

where,

Number - represents the number of variables.

RandomNumber - represents the number of random number.

Distribution - represents the distribution method(i.e normal) to create random values.

NewTableFlag - is the TRUE or FALSE.If set as TRUE,the result in new sheet. If NewTableFlag is omitted, it assumed to be FALSE.

Mean - represents the Mean.

StandardDeviation - represents the standard deviation.

Normal Distribution characterized by a mean and a standard deviation.

Lets see an example in (Column3Row1)

?UNIQeebbe8a3183fa626-nowiki-00000004-QINU?

RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION returns the result in new sheet(5Space).

?UNIQeebbe8a3183fa626-nowiki-00000005-QINU?

RANDOMNUMBERGENERATION returns the #ERROR(Number < 0).
