PROB ( x-range , probability-range , lower-limit [ , upper-limit ] )
Description: Computes the probability that values in a range are between two limits.
Arguments:

Type |
Description |
x-range |
array, reference |
The set of numeric values of x with which there are associated probabilities. |
probability-range |
array, reference |
A set of numeric probabilities associated with the values in x-range. |
lower-limit |
number |
The lower bound on the value for which the probability is to be computed. |
upper-limit |
number |
The upper bound on the value for which the probability is to be computed. If omitted, the probability that values in x-range are equal to lower-limit is returned. |
Return Type and Value: number – The probability that values in a range are between two limits.
However, if
• Any value in probability-range ≤ 0 or any value in probability-range > 1, #NUM! is returned.
• The sum of the values in probability-range < 1, #NUM! is returned.
• x-range and probability-range contain a different number of data points, the return value is unspecified.
[Example:
PROB({0,1,2,3},{0.2,0.3,0.1,0.4},2) results in 0.1
PROB({0,1,2,3},{0.2,0.3,0.1,0.4},1,4) results in 0.8
