BETADIST


Name

Beta distribution

Description

Calculates the cumulative beta distribution function.

Syntax

BETADIST(x,alpha,beta,lower,upper)

Argument Description
x Value at which to evaluate the function, between the values of lower and upper
alpha Alpha parameter of the distribution
beta Beta parameter of the distribution
lower [Optional] Lower bound of the interval for x; 0 if omitted
upper [Optional] Upper bound of the interval for x; 1 if omitted

Remarks

If you omit values for upper and lower, the calculation uses the standard cumulative beta distribution, so that lower is zero and upper is one.

Data Type

Accepts numeric data for all arguments. Returns numeric data. For more information, see Data Type for Each Cell Type.
