    Bell Curve

    Have just begun using Excel and wondering if there is an easy way to graph a normal (Bell) curve given only the mean (x) and standard deviation (sd). It seems that Excel would include a way to graph a normal curve based on these 2 variables, and then compute percentages based on z scores that are the items of interest given a KNOWN mean and standard deviation. Any suggestions.

    This advice was given, but how does this get "morphed" into a graph. [use normdist with last argument 0. this gives the density]
    Have tried so many times, with different "insert" graphs, to no avail. Somebody knows. Please help. I have been trying with the
    =normdist with 140 as x, 125 as the mean, 10 as the sd, and 0 as stated above. No luck so far.
