ABSTRACT

This paper presents a one-term approximation to the cumulative normal distribution functions. The absolute maximum error of the proposed approximation is 0.0018 less than 0.003 of Polya's approximation. Comparisons between the proposed approximation and the different approximations with one-term that stated in the literature are given.
