) for the normal

distribution at a specified

x

value. The defaults are mean

m

=0 and

standard deviation

s

=1. To plot the normal distribution, paste

normalpdf(

to the

Y=

editor. The probability density function (pdf) is:

Note: For this example,

Xmin = 28
Xmax = 42
Ymin = 0
Ymax = .25

Tip: For plotting the normal distribution, you can set window variables

Xmin

and

Xmax

so that the mean

m

falls between them, and then select

0:ZoomFit

from the

ZOOM

menu.
