CRITBINOM function
Returns the smallest value for which the cumulative binomial distribution is greater than or equal to a criterion value. Use this function for quality assurance applications. For example, use CRITBINOM to determine the greatest number of defective parts that are allowed to come off an assembly line run without rejecting the entire lot.
Syntax
CRITBINOM(trials, probability_s, alpha)Square brackets indicate optional arguments.

Read the legacy CRITBINOM function name
=CRITBINOM(A2,B2,C2)CRITBINOM is the compatibility name corresponding to BINOM.INV. The cumulative probability through one success is 5/16, below 0.5; through two it is 11/16, above 0.5. The smallest qualifying success count is 2. Use the modern name when creating a new formula; the old spelling is useful when reading existing workbooks.
