BETA.DIST function
Returns the beta cumulative distribution function
Syntax
BETA.DIST(x, alpha, beta, cumulative, [A], [B])Square brackets indicate optional arguments.
Arguments
| Argument | Required | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| x | Yes | The value between A and B at which to evaluate the function.2 |
| alpha | Yes | A parameter of the distribution.8 |
| beta | Yes | A parameter of the distribution.10 |
| cumulative | Yes | A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, BETA.DIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability density function.true |
| A | No | A lower bound to the interval of x.1 |
| B | No | An upper bound to the interval of x.3 |
Try BETA.DIST
Find a beta-distribution cumulative probability
=BETA.DIST(A2,B2,C2,TRUE)For Beta(2,2) on [0,1], the CDF is 3*x^2-2*x^3. At x=0.25 it is 0.15625. TRUE requests probability up to x, not density at x.
