stats_dens_normal — Probability density function of the normal distribution

Description

function stats_dens_normal(float $x, float $ave, float $stdev): float

Returns the probability density at x, where the random variable follows the normal distribution of which the mean is ave and the standard deviation is stdev.

Parameters

x: The value at which the probability density is calculated
ave: The mean of the distribution
stdev: The standard deviation of the distribution

Return Values

The probability density at x or false for failure.

I'm not certain that I've figured this one out correctly but it should return the value of a (Gaussian) normal distribution of the given properties at the given location.
$x - the X-Value to request
$ave - the 'expected value' (i.e. location of the peak) for the distribution. For most uses this will just be 0.
$stdev - the standard deviation of the distribution. For most uses this will be 1.

This functions will be the equivalent for "DISTR.NORM.N" on excel, like an other user said it's for Gaussian normal distribution.

$x as value to analyze
$ave as average 
$stdev as deviation
