-<br>The normal distribution is commonly used for general reliability analysis, times-to-failure of simple electronic and mechanical components, equipment or systems. The <span class="texhtml">''pdf''</span> 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:
-::<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 [[The Normal Distribution]].
