Statistical - BINOM.DIST.RANGE Function



Description

The BINOM.DIST.RANGE function returns the probability of a trial result using a binomial distribution.

Syntax

BINOM.DIST.RANGE (trials,probability_s,number_s,[number_s2])

Arguments

Argument Description Required/ Optional
Trials The number of independent trials. Must be greater than or equal to 0. Required
Probability_s The probability of success in each trial. Must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. Required
Number_s The number of successes in trials. Must be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to Trials. Required
Number_s2

If provided, returns the probability that the number of successful trials will fall between Number_s and number_s2

Must be greater than or equal to Number_s and less than or equal to Trials.

Optional

Notes

  • The following equation is used

    $$\sum_{k=s}^{s2}\left ( \frac{N}{k} \right )p^k\left ( 1-p \right )N-k$$

  • In the equation above, N is Trials, p is Probability_s, s is Number_s, s2 is Number_s2, and k is the iteration variable.

  • Numeric arguments are truncated to integers.

  • If probability_s is < 0 or > 1, BINOM.DIST.RANGE returns the #NUM! error value. .

  • If number_s is < 0 or > trials, BINOM.DIST.RANGE returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If number_s2 is < 0 or > trials or < number_s, BINOM.DIST.RANGE returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If any of the arguments are non-numeric values, BINOM.DIST.RANGE returns the #VALUE! error value.

Applicability
