[rand.dist.norm.normal]

A normal_distribution random number distribution produces random numbers x distributed according to the probability density function

$p (x | μ, σ) = \frac{1}{σ \sqrt{2 π}} \cdot exp (- \frac{(x - μ)^{2}}{2 σ^{2}}) .$

The distribution parameters μ and σ are also known as this distribution's mean and standard deviation.

    // constructors and reset functions
    explicit normal_distribution(RealType mean = 0.0, RealType stddev = 1.0);
    explicit normal_distribution(const param_type& parm);
    void reset();
