Name
NORMDIST
Synopsis
Use NORMDIST to find the normal cumulative probability for a value with the specified mean and standard deviation. This function is frequently used in hypothesis testing.
To Calculate
=NORMDIST(X,Mean,Standard_Dev,Cumulative)
All arguments are required for this function.
-
X Indicates a numeric value for which you want to find the distribution.
-
Mean Indicates a numeric value that specifies the mean of the distribution.
-
Standard_Dev Indicates a positive numeric value that specifies the standard deviation of the distribution.
Example
Figure 15-32 illustrates how NORMDIST is used to find
the normal cumulative distribution. The figure shows how the function
returns a different value based upon the logical value specified for
the Cumulative argument. You will also
notice in this example that NORMINV returns a value that matches the
initial X value specified for NORMDIST.
