There is the normal probability density function (pdf) which is given in the attached link. The normal probability cumulative distribution function (cdf) is used to calculate probabilities, and there is no closed form equation for this. Many statistical programs have the cdf built in. Some references are given at the end of the link to find approximate cdf. The cdf, is usually written F(x) and the pdf f(x). F(x) is the integral of f(x) from minus infinity to x.

What are the advantages of using the standard normal distribution over the normal distribution?

There is no simple formula to calculate probabilities for the normal distribution. Those for the standard normal have been calculated by numerical methods and then tabulated. As a result, probabilities for the standard normal can be looked up easily.

What is the significance of the constant 1/sqrt(2pi) in the formula for the standard normal distribution?

The constant 1/sqrt(2pi) in the formula for the standard normal distribution is significant because it normalizes the distribution so that the total area under the curve equals 1. This ensures that the probabilities calculated from the distribution are accurate and meaningful.
