Detailed Description

template<typename _RealType = double>
class std::normal_distribution< _RealType >

A normal continuous distribution for random numbers.

The formula for the normal probability mass function is $ p(x) = \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2 \pi}} e^{- \frac{{x - mean}^ {2}}{2 \sigma ^ {2}} } $.
