The normal distribution is the most commonly used distribution in statistics. The commands follow the same kind of naming convention, and the names of the commands are dbinom, pbinom, qbinom, and rbinom. The following code generates a plot of the density function of a standard normal random variable, and then adds two curves that depict the same distribution shifted to the left.
