BINOMDISTCalculates the probability of drawing a certain number of successes (or a maximum number of successes) in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, with replacement of draws.
Sample Usage
BINOMDIST(4,100,0.005,FALSE)
BINOMDIST(A2,A3,A4,TRUE)
Syntax
BINOMDIST(num_successes, num_trials, prob_success, cumulative)
num_successes – The number of successes for which to calculate the probability in num_trials trials.
If cumulative is TRUE then BINOMDIST returns the probability of num_successes or fewer successes, otherwise the probability of exactly num_successes successes.
num_trials – The number of independent trials.
prob_success – The probability of success in any given trial.
cumulative – [ FALSE by default ] – Whether to use the binomial cumulative distribution.
Notes
HYPGEOMDIST describes the probability of drawing a certain number of successes in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, without replacement of draws.
