Normal Distribution

Bell curve PDF and CDF with shaded probabilities

About this calculator

The Normal Distribution Calculator draws the bell curve for any mean and standard deviation and shades the probability you choose — the left tail P(X ≤ x), the right tail P(X ≥ x), or the area between two bounds P(a ≤ X ≤ b). It also reports the density f(x), the z-score, and the percentile. Useful for statistics, z-scores, hypothesis testing, and exam grading.

Common examples

  • Standard normal N(0, 1): P(Z ≤ 1) = 0.8413 (84th percentile)
  • Right tail P(Z ≥ 1.5) = 0.0668
  • One-sigma rule: P(−1 ≤ Z ≤ 1) = 0.6827
  • Two-sigma rule: P(−2 ≤ Z ≤ 2) = 0.9545
  • IQ scores N(100, 15²): P(X ≤ 130) = 0.9772 (z = 2)
