ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an approximation to the standard normal distribution function. The introduced approximation formula is very simple and it has a very acceptable accurate. By comparing the proposed approximation with other existing approximations, it can be observed that the proposed one has a simple, easily computable formula and it gives a good accurate with maximum absolute error equals 0.000444.
