Returns the standard normal distribution for the specified parameters.

Syntax

Parameters

• x is the value for which you want the distribution .
• Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, NTNORMDIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function.

Remarks

• When argument Cumulative=TRUE, this function returns same result as Excel function “NORMSDIST” does.
• When argument Cumulative=FALSE, this function returns same result as Excel function “NORMSDIST(x,0,1,FALSE)” does.
