Name

NORMINV

Synopsis

Use NORMINV to find the inverse of the normal cumulative distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.

To Calculate

=NORMINV(Probability, Mean, Standard_Dev)

All three arguments must be specified for this function.

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 to use NORMINV to find the inverse of the normal cumulative distribution. You will notice in this example the value returned by NORMINV is equal to the value specified for the X argument of NORMDIST.
