For continuous random variables, fx is a nondecreasing continuous function. This function returns the normal distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation. You might recall, for discrete random variables, that fx is, in general, a nondecreasing step function. Use the probability distribution function app to create an interactive plot of the cumulative distribution function cdf or probability density function pdf for a probability distribution.
