https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probability_density_function
"a probability density function is a function that describes the relative
likelihood for this random variable to take on a given value."

I'd therefore assume that return values for our version of this function would
be in a range like [0, 100] or [0, 1].

Our Help docs don't specify the range of the function:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Statistical_Functions_Part_Four#NORMDIST

...so at the very least this is a case of missing documentation. If the output
range is supposed to be [0, 1], then a return value of 18 is also a bug in the
implementation.
