Name
CRITBINOM
Synopsis
Use
CRITBINOM to find the smallest value where
the cumulative binomial distribution is greater than or equal to the
value specified for the Alpha argument,
which measures the probability of making a type 1 error in hypothesis
testing. This function is typically used
in quality assurance applications.
To Calculate
=CRITBINOM(Trials,Probability_S,Alpha)
All arguments are required for this function.
-
Trials Specifies a numeric value that indicates the number of Bernoulli trials. If the value specified is not an integer, it is truncated by the function.
-
Probability_S Specifies a decimal value between and 1 that indicates the probability of success for each trial.
-
Alpha Specifies a decimal value between and 1 that indicates the criterion value.
Example
Figure 15-10 illustrates how CRITBINOM is used to find the minimum number of successes. For example, if these were tests on new products, the result would be the minimum number of successes allowed for each product.
