Wolfram alpha doesn't allow me to plot and display a shaded area under Gaussian


I quite simply for illustration and teaching purposes want to plot the area under a gaussian between two points and have this shaded. But Wolfram alpha seems to have other ideas. For example:

 integrate gaussian mu=0, sigma=0.1 from 0.3 to 0.6 

How can I do this?


Solution

  • I think you mean

    To achieve this in WolframAlpha, first of all rewrite gaussian mu=0, sigma=0.1 as N(0,0.1).

    Then just specify the limit of PDF: from 0.3 to 0.6. You don't need to specify integrate, WolframAlpha will understand you want P(0.3 < N(0,0.1) < 0.6)

    The command will look like: N(0,0.1) from 0.3 to 0.6
