Q-function

In statistics, the Q-function is the tail distribution function of the standard normal distribution. In other words, Q ( x ) {\displaystyle Q(x)} is the probability that a normal (Gaussian) random variable will obtain a value larger than x {\displaystyle x} standard deviations. Equivalently, Q ( x ) {\displaystyle Q(x)} is the probability that a standard…
