◧ Arguments
| Argument | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
number_s |
Number | Required | The number of successes in trials. |
trials |
Number | Required | The number of independent trials. |
probability_s |
Number | Required | The probability of success on each trial. |
cumulative |
Logical | Required | A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, then BINOM.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function, which is the probability that there are at most number_s successes; if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function, which is the probability that there are number_s successes. |
▣ Examples
▦ Data
| Cell | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
A2 |
6 | Number of successes in trials |
A3 |
10 | Number of independent trials |
A4 |
0.5 | Probability of success on each trial |
A5 |
6 | Number of successes in trials |
A6 |
10 | Number of independent trials |
A7 |
0.5 | Probability of success on each trial |
Probability of exactly 6 of 10 trials being successful.
=BINOM.DIST(A2,A3,A4,FALSE)
Result:
0.2050781
§ Remarks
- Number_s and trials are truncated to integers.
- If number_s, trials, or probability_s is nonnumeric, BINOM.DIST returns the #VALUE! error value.
- If number_s < 0 or number_s > trials, BINOM.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
- If probability_s < 0 or probability_s > 1, BINOM.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
- The binomial probability mass function is: where: is COMBIN(n,x). The cumulative binomial distribution is:
✦ Tips

⚠ Common Errors
#VALUE!
If number_s, trials, or probability_s is nonnumeric, BINOM.DIST returns the #VALUE! error value.
Fix: مطمئن شوید هر سه آرگومان عدد هستند و موارد متنی یا خانههای خالی را اصلاح کنید.
#NUM!
If number_s < 0 or number_s > trials, BINOM.DIST returns the #NUM! error value. If probability_s < 0 or probability_s > 1, BINOM.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.
Fix: Correct the input value
