PROBGiven a set of values and corresponding probabilities, calculates the probability that a value chosen at random falls between two limits.
Sample Usage
PROB({1,2,3,4},{0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25},3)
PROB(A2:A100,B2:B100,C2,C3)
Syntax
PROB(data, probabilities, low_limit, [high_limit])
data – Array or range containing the dataset to consider.
probabilities – Array or range containing probabilities corresponding to data.
Each value in probabilities must be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1.
low_limit – The lower bound on the value range for which to calculate the probability.
high_limit – [ OPTIONAL – low_limit by default ] – The upper bound on the value range for which to calculate the probability.
If high_limit is omitted, PROB calculates the probability that a value chosen at random is exactly equal to low_limit.
Notes
The number of values in data and probabilities must be the same.
