Detailed Description

Class NormalVariable defines a random variable with a normal (Gaussian) distribution.

This class supports the creation of objects that return random numbers from a fixed normal distribution. It also supports the generation of single random numbers from various normal distributions.

The density probability function is defined over the interval (-inf,+inf) as: $\frac{1}{\sigma\sqrt{2\pi}} e^{-\frac{(x-\mu)^2}{s\sigma^2}}$ where $mean = \mu$ and $variance = \sigma^2$
