<br>
The normal distribution is commonly used for general reliability analysis, times-to-failure of
simple electronic and mechanical components, equipment or systems.
The <math>pdf</math> of the normal distribution is given by:
 
::<math>\begin{align}
  f(t)= \frac{1}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi }}{e^{-\tfrac{1}{2}(\tfrac{t-\mu }{\sigma })^2}}
\end{align}</math>
<br>
:where,
<br>
::<math>\begin{align}
\mu = & \text{mean of the normal times to failure} \\
\sigma = & \text{standard deviation of the times to failure} 
\end{align}</math>
 
The normal distribution and its characteristics are presented in more detail in Chapter 8.
