Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel (in Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Function Prob ( _
    Arg1 As Object, _
    Arg2 As Object, _
    Arg3 As Double, _
    Arg4 As Object _
) As Double
'Usage
Dim instance As WorksheetFunction
Dim Arg1 As Object
Dim Arg2 As Object
Dim Arg3 As Double
Dim Arg4 As Object
Dim returnValue As Double

returnValue = instance.Prob(Arg1, Arg2, _
    Arg3, Arg4)
double Prob(
    Object Arg1,
    Object Arg2,
    double Arg3,
    Object Arg4
)

Parameters

  • Arg1
    Type: System.Object

    X_range - the range of numeric values of x with which there are associated probabilities.

  • Arg2
    Type: System.Object

    Prob_range - a set of probabilities associated with values in x_range.

  • Arg3
    Type: System.Double

    Lower_limit - the lower bound on the value for which you want a probability.

  • Arg4
    Type: System.Object

    Upper_limit - the optional upper bound on the value for which you want a probability.

Return Value

Type: System.Double

Remarks

If any value in prob_range ≤ 0 or if any value in prob_range > 1, Prob returns the #NUM! error value.

If the sum of the values in prob_range ¹ 1, Prob returns the #NUM! error value.

If upper_limit is omitted, Prob returns the probability of being equal to lower_limit.

If x_range and prob_range contain a different number of data points, Prob returns the #N/A error value.
