NORMDIST

NORMDIST(x, mean, standard_dev, cumulative)

Returns the probability distribution function OR the cumulative probability function for a normal distribution.

xThe number from the distribution.
meanThe arithmetic mean of the distribution.
standard_devThe standard deviation of the distribution.
cumulativeA logical value indicating the type of function to use:
False (or 0) = [[probability distribution function]] (equal to)
True (<> 0) = [[cumulative probability function]] (equal to or less than).

REMARKS
* This function is only available for backwards compatibility and should not be used.
* NORM.DIST was added in Excel 2010 to replace this function.
* The normal distribution is a [[continuous distribution]]
* If "x" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If "mean" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If "standard_dev" = 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "standard_dev" is not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* If "cumulative" = False, then the height of the curve at "x" is returned.
* If "cumulative" = True, then the area under the curve to the left of "x" is returned.
* Example - If "mean" = 0 and "standard_dev" = 1 this function is equivalent to the standard normal distribution.
* You can use the NORM.INV function to return the inverse of the probability distribution function for normal distribution.
* You can use the NORM.S.DIST function to return the probability distribution function for a standard normal distribution.
* You can use the NORM.S.INV function to return the inverse of the probability distribution function for a standard normal distribution.
