The normal probability distribution is dependent on the value of the mean and the standard deviation.
However, this then implies that a different mean and/or a different standard deviation leads to a different normal distribution and thus there are many possible normal probability distributions.
Since there are infinitely many possible values for the mean and infinitely many possible values for the standard deviation, there are infinitely many possible normal distributions.
Result:
Infinite.
