I have never worked out the integral which results in the normal or
gaussian distribution equation (about .4 e^(-.5 z^2) , where z is defined
in terms of the population mean and standard deviation).
I usually just work off compiled tables.
Can someone in the list point me to a source which explains the
integral and initial equation needed to derive the equation. It would be
very nice if the source was a url since my local library resources are
limited.
Best Wishes,
