Gaussian distribution

The Gaussian distribution (also known as the normal distribution) is given by:

$P(x)={\frac {1}{\sigma {\sqrt {2\pi }}}}\exp \left({\frac {-(x-\mu )^{2}}{2\sigma ^{2}}}\right)$

where Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \mu} is the mean and Failed to parse (SVG (MathML can be enabled via browser plugin): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \sigma^2} is the variance.
