The normrnd
function in MATLAB generates random numbers from a normal distribution with specified mean and standard deviation.
To find the probability of normrnd
in MATLAB, you need to use the probability density function (pdf
) of the normal distribution. The pdf
function allows you to calculate the probability density for a given value of x
, mean (mu
), and standard deviation (sigma
).
Here's an example code that demonstrates how to use the pdf
function to find the probability density value for a given x
, mu
, and sigma
:

In this code, we generated a random sample of 1000 observations from a normal distribution with mean 0
and standard deviation 1
using normrnd
. Then we calculated the mean and standard deviation of the sample using mean
and std
functions. Finally, we used the normpdf
function to calculate the probability density value at x=0
for the given mean and standard deviation.
Note that probability density is not the same as probability. To find the probability of a certain range of values, you need to integrate the probability density over that range.
