How to use this tool
- Enter observed value, mean, standard deviation.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Density = exp[−(x − μ)²/(2σ²)]/(σ√(2π)).
Using observed value = 0, mean = 0, standard deviation = 1, the result is 0.39894228. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.
What to keep in mind
Density is not the probability of a single exact value and may exceed 1. A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
Common questions
Which inputs does this calculation need?
Evaluate the height of a normal probability density curve. Enter observed value, mean, standard deviation. The filled example is editable and is not a saved personal record.
How should I interpret the result?
Density is not the probability of a single exact value and may exceed 1. A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
