B
Calculates probabilities for a binomial distribution.
Syntax:
B(n; p; k; k2)
- With n independent trials, each with a probability p of success, B returns the probability that the number of successes will be between k and k2 inclusive, or if k2 is omitted the probability that the number of successes will be exactly k.
Example:
B(10; 1/6; 2)
- returns approximately 0.29 (29%), the probability that the number four will be thrown exactly twice in 10 throws of a die.
Issues:
- Excel does not have this function.
