If {x} is a continuous, real valued random variable defined over the interval (− ∞,+ ∞) and its occurrence is defined by the density function given as: $f\left(x\right)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\mathrm{\pi }}*b}{e}^{\frac{1}{2}{\left(\frac{x-a}{b}\right)}^{2}}$where 'a' and 'b' are the statistical attributes of the random variable {x}. The value of the integral ${\int }_{-\infty }^{a}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2\mathrm{\pi }}*b}{e}^{\frac{1}{2}{\left(\frac{x-a}{b}\right)}^{2}}dx$ is
