In probability, it is common to model the deviation of a day's temperature from the monthly average temperature using the Gaussian probability density function, f(t) = This means that the probability that the day's temperature will be between t = a and t = b different from the monthly average temperature is given by the area under the graph of y = f(t) between t = a and t = b. A related function is 2 F(1) = e2/9 dt, r20. This function gives the probability that the day's temperature is between t = -x and t = r different from the monthly average temperature.
