Question about the calculator and the normal distribution?

ByMarkusFre

Hello, If you use Normcdf in GTR, the calculator calculates the integral of the corresponding bell curve in the specified interval. I understand that, but I don't quite understand what normpdf means, because if that's the y-value of the bell curve, I don't understand the following: How can the integral of 0.5-1.5 be taken for…

What exactly is the problem?

A rectangle has area A = a·b and here a = u and b = f(u). Therefore:

Now you need to be able to calculate the f(x) function of the straight line around f(u), and you can simply read it (I don’t even know what to expect seriously now)

and with it:

Then

Maximum of this function:

Since A”(u) < 0 is also the maximum at u = 15/6.

To calculate the maximum area, you will use u=15/6 in A(u).
