I don't understand what you want done. You appear to have provided an 
example of what you don't want, but not of what you do want. Perhaps this is 
will be of use.

Needs["Statistics`"];
Needs["Graphics`"];

data1=RandomArray[NormalDistribution[310, 13],{500}];
m1=Mean[data1]; 
s1=StandardDeviationMLE[data1];
data2=RandomArray[NormalDistribution[646, 33],{1000}];
m2=Mean[data2]; s2=StandardDeviationMLE[data2];

n=31;
BarChart[
    BinCounts[(#-m1)/s1&/@data1,{-3,3,6/n}]/
                    Length[data1],
    BinCounts[(#-m2)/s2&/@data2,{-3,3,6/n}]/
                    Length[data2],
        Frame->True,
    FrameTicks->{
        Join[
          Table[{(n-1)((m1+k*s1)-(m1-3s1))/(6s1)+1,""},
            {k,-3,3,1/4}],
          Table[{(n-1)((m1+k*s1)-(m1-3s1))/(6s1)+1,
              ToString[m1+k*s1]<>"\n"<>
                StringReplace[ToString["m1"+k*"s1"]," "->""],
              {0.015,0},{Red}},{k,-3,3}]],
        Automatic,
        Join[
          Table[{(n-1)((m2+k*s2)-(m2-3s2))/(6s2)+1,""},
            {k,-3,3,1/4}],
          Table[{(n-1)((m2+k*s2)-(m2-3s2))/(6s2)+1,
              StringReplace[ToString["m2"+k*"s2"]," "->""]<>
                "\n"<>ToString[m2+k*s2],
              {0.015,0},{Blue}},{k,-3,3}]],
