## General Normal Curve Calculation

### Understanding the Normal Curve Equation

The equation for a general normal curve with mean \( \mu \) and standard deviation \( \sigma \) is given by:

\[ y = \frac{e^{-\frac{(x - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}}}{\sigma \sqrt{2\pi}} \]

### Calculation Example

Calculate values for \( x = 70, 80, 90, \ldots, 120, 130 \) where \( \mu = 100 \) and \( \sigma = 20 \). 

Note that setting \( \mu = 0 \) and \( \sigma = 1 \) in the above equation gives the equation for the standard normal curve. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

- \( x = 70 \) : [Input Box]
- \( x = 80 \) : [Input Box]
- \( x = 90 \) : [Input Box]
- \( x = 100 \) : [Input Box]
- \( x = 110 \) : [Input Box]
- \( x = 120 \) : [Input Box]
- \( x = 130 \) : [Input Box]

### Steps to Calculate

1. **Insert the values:** For each \( x \) value, substitute \( x \), \( \mu \), and \( \sigma \) into the equation.

2. **Evaluate the exponential term:** Calculate \( -\frac{(x - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2} \).

3. **Calculate:** Evaluate the exponent \( e \) raised to the result from step 2.

4. **Divide:** Divide by \( \sigma \sqrt{2\pi} \).

5. **Round:** Round the final result to four decimal places.

By following these steps, you can calculate the probability density for any specific value of \( x \) on this normal distribution.
