Definite integral of a product of normal pdf and cdf. Lately, i have found myself looking up the normal distribution functions in r. The usual justification for using the normal distribution for modeling is the central limit theorem, which states roughly that the sum of independent samples from any distribution with finite mean and variance converges to the normal distribution as the. If two random variables x and y have the same pdf, then they will have the same cdf and therefore their mean and variance will be same. Laura schultz statistics i always start by drawing a sketch of the normal distribution that you are working with.
For an indepth explanation of the relationship between a pdf and a cdf, along with the proof for why the pdf is the derivative of the cdf, refer to a statistical textbook.
