Finding the area under a bell curve

Posted 3 years ago

I'm following a video tutorial on how to use Z-scores to answer the question "What is the probability an observation is greater/less than some value x"

At the point in the video linked, the author uses a look-up table instead of a calculation to determine the area under the bell curve.

Is there a function in Mathematica to calculate the area without use of a look-up table?

Here is a way:

Probability[x > 8,
 Distributed[x,
  NormalDistribution[75/10, 25/1000]]]
N[%, 5]
