Advanced Excel Statistical - PROB Function



Description

The PROB function returns the probability that values in a range are between two limits. If upper_limit is not supplied, returns the probability that values in x_range are equal to lower_limit.

Syntax

PROB (x_range, prob_range, [lower_limit], [upper_limit])

Arguments

Argument Description Required/ Optional
X_range The range of numeric values of x with which there are associated probabilities. Required
Prob_range A set of probabilities associated with values in x_range. Required
Lower_limit The lower bound on the value for which you want a probability. Optional
Upper_limit The optional upper bound on the value for which you want a probability. Optional

Notes

  • If upper_limit is omitted, PROB returns the probability of being equal to lower_limit.

  • If any value in prob_range ≤ 0 or if any value in prob_range > 1, PROB returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If the sum of the values in prob_range is not equal to 1, PROB returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If x_range and prob_range contain different number of data points, PROB returns the #N/A error value.
