Previously:Demonstrated max likelihood with normal distribution
For a given collection of data points, [math]\displaystyle{ x_1, x_2, ... x_i }[/math], can calculate relative probability of various parent gaussian distributions:
[math]\displaystyle{ prob \propto \frac {1}{\sigma^N} e^{-\sum(x_i-X)^2 / 2 \sigma^2} }[/math]
