    I think what he's referring to is cumulative probability. You can 'add' (integrate) a normal distribution if you want to find out probabilities under or over a value (in fact, this is what you do, since the probability of a particular discrete value is 0).

      I read the title as "Lori does some Meth" which I thought "that would explain her insane actions in The Walking Dead"

          Which is why I talked about a single event. The probability of rolling exactly one 6 on 3d6 is 3!/(1!2!) * 1/6 * (5/6)^2 = .347.
