with the areas under these curves equal to 1, the same mean but different standard deviations. Thanks!

Do you have the Statistics Toolbox?
x = -10:0.01:10;
y = normpdf(x,0,1);
y1 = normpdf(x,0,sqrt(2));
If you do not have the Statistics Toolbox, you can just use the definition of the Gaussian
f = @(x) 1/sqrt(2*pi)*exp(-x.^2/2);
integral(f,-10,10)
g = @(x) 1/sqrt(2*pi*2)*exp(-x.^2/4);
integral(g,-10,10)
To see the curves for above:
fcurv = 1/sqrt(2*pi)*exp(-x.^2/2);
gcurv = 1/sqrt(2*pi*2)*exp(-x.^2/4);
plot(x,fcurv); hold on;
plot(x,gcurv,'r')

Hi Wayne, yes, I tried both ways already. However, if you do sum(y) or sum(y1) to give you the are under the curve (or trapz(y)), it does not give you 1. That is why I posted here. I need the area under the curves to be equal to one. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Jenka, you cannot just do sum(y), you are forgetting about the very important dx in the integral
x = -10:0.01:10;
y = normpdf(x,0,1);
y1 = normpdf(x,0,sqrt(2));
dx = mean(diff(x));
sum(y*dx)
sum(y1*dx)
