The Normal distribution is perhaps the most commonly used probability distribution. It can be used, for example, to represent uncertainties resulting from unbiased measurement error, and (because of the central limit theorem) the value of a sum of other variables.

The Normal distribution is defined by a Mean and a Standard Deviation. GoldSim also allows you to truncate the distribution by checking the Truncated box and specifying a Minimum and a Maximum:
