PROB(xr,pr,ll,ul)


  • is the array of x range is the value of the function.
  • is the set of probabilities.
  • is the lower limit and is the upper limit value.


Description

  • This function gives the probability that values in a range of given limits.
  • Probability is the likelihood that an event will occur.
  • Probabilities can be used to describe frequencies of outcomes in random experiments.
  • In   is the array of numeric values which there are associated probabilities,  is a set of probabilities associated with   is the lower limit of the probability and   is the upper limit of the probability.
  • Here   is optional.When we are omitting the value of ul, then the function simply returns the probability associated with the value of the given ll.
  • This function will return the result as error when
1.Any one of the value is nonnumeric.
2.Any value of <math> pr \le 0 or pr >1
3.the values in the given pr  do not adding  up to 1
4.xr and pr is of different number of data points.


Examples

x pr 0 0.3 1 0.5 2 0.2 PROB(A2:A4,B2:B4,1)=0.5 PROB(A2:A4,B2:B4,1,3)=0.7 x pr 1 0.2 2 0.2 3 0.1 4 0.5 PROB(C1:C4,D1:D4,2)=0.2 PROB(C1:C4,D1:D4,2,4)=0.8 x pr 0 0.3 1 0.7 2 0.1 PROB(A1:A3,B1:B3,2)=NAN
