MATLAB Matlab-compute the distribution of the noise signal

AI Thread Summary
The equation provided is identified as the probability density function (PDF) of a normally distributed random variable. It describes how the values of a normally distributed variable are distributed around the mean (μ) with a specific standard deviation (σ). The formula includes constants such as 1/√(2πσ) and the exponential function e^((x-μ)^2/2σ^2), which collectively define the shape of the normal distribution curve. Understanding this equation is crucial for analyzing noise signals in various applications, particularly in statistics and signal processing.

my professor gave me this equation to compute the distribution of the noise signal but I have no ideal what it is, so can someone explain this for me
1/√(2πσ)*e^((x-μ)^2/2σ^2 )

thanks

IIRC, that is the probability density function of a normally distributed random variable with mean μ and standard deviation σ. But I could be wrong.
