class Normal(distribution.Distribution):
    r"""The Normal distribution with location `loc` and `scale` parameters.

    Mathematical details

    The probability density function (pdf) is

    .. math::

        pdf(x; \mu, \sigma) = \\frac{1}{Z}e^{\\frac {-0.5 (x - \mu)^2}  {\sigma^2} }

    .. math::

        Z = (2 \pi \sigma^2)^{0.5}

    In the above equation:

    * :math:`loc = \mu`: is the mean.
    * :math:`scale = \sigma`: is the std.
    * :math:`Z`: is the normalization constant.

    Args:
        loc(int|float|list|tuple|numpy.ndarray|Tensor): The mean of normal distribution.The data type is int, float, list, numpy.ndarray or Tensor.
        scale(int|float|list|tuple|numpy.ndarray|Tensor): The std of normal distribution.The data type is int, float, list, numpy.ndarray or Tensor.
        name(str, optional): Name for the operation (optional, default is None). For more information, please refer to :ref:`api_guide_Name`.

        .. code-block:: python
