EXCEL BINOM.DIST FUNCTION

The BINOM.DIST function in Excel returns the Binomial Distribution probability for a given number of successes from a given number of trials.

Syntax:

=BINOM.DIST( number_strialsprobability_scumulative )

Parameter:  

  • The following are the arguments:

number_s:

  • The number of achievements for which you wish to compute the probability.

trials:

  • The number of independent trials that will be conducted.

 probability_s: 

  • The likelihood of success in a single experiment.

cumulati:

  • A logical argument indicating the kind of Binomial distribution to be computed. This can have the values

TRUE or FALSE, which means:
TRUE: Apply the cumulative distribution function;

FALSE: Apply the probability mass function.

The graphic on the right employs the Binomial Distribution Probability Mass Function to calculate the likelihood that precisely x heads will be tossed out of 100 coin flips.

  • #NUM! – Occurs if either: the supplied number s is 0 or > trials; or the supplied probability s is 0 or > trials. 1.
  • #VALUE! – Occurs if any of the number s, trials, or probability s parameters are non-numeric.
