Timeline for I have the standard deviation, mean and the maximum value for a distribution between t=0 and t=T. How do I approximate the best fitting curve?

The question isn't explicit what the aim is so I thought I would submit a suboptimal solution that achieves something in the case that is what @Taru wanted. | |

If it doesn't use that information--which is not redundant--then it cannot be an admissible procedure: improvement (possibly great improvement) ought to be possible. | |
