= CumNormal(X, mean, stddev) =
 
 
 
Returns the cumulative probability
 
:<math>p = Pr[x \le X] = {1\over{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}}} \int_{-\infty}^x exp\left(- {1\over 2} {{(X-\mu)^2}\over\sigma^2}\right)</math>
 
for a [[Normal|normal distribution]] with a given mean and standard deviation.  «Mean» and «stddev» are optional and default to ''Mean = 0'', ''stddev = 1''.
 
:<code>CumNormal(1) - CumNormal( -1 )</code> → .683
 
i.e., 68.3% of the area under a normal distribution is contained
 
within one standard deviation of the mean.
