Normal CDF
Φ(z) = ½ [1 + erf(z / √2)]
The calculator leverages an error-function approximation to deliver accurate probabilities and densities.
How to use
- Enter the mean μ and standard deviation σ.
- Provide one or two values depending on whether you want a single tail or a between probability.
- Read the z-score, PDF value, and probability.
Example
Input: μ = 0, σ = 1, mode = P(X ≤ a), a = 1.2
Output: z ≈ 1.2, P ≈ 0.884
FAQ & notes
Can it compute two-tailed probabilities?
Use the between mode with symmetric bounds (e.g., ±z) to obtain central or tail probabilities.
What happens if σ = 0?
A zero or negative standard deviation is invalid for a normal distribution, so the calculator flags the input.
