Name

WEIBULL

Synopsis

Use WEIBULL to find probabilities for the Weibull distribution. This type of distribution is used to perform a reliability analysis.

To Calculate

=WEIBULL(X, Alpha, Beta, Cumulative)

All arguments are required for this function.

X

Indicates a positive numeric value used to evaluate the function.

Example

Figure 15-51 illustrates how to use WEIBULL to perform a Weibull distribution. You will notice that there are two possible values returned by the function depending upon whether you want the Cumulative Distribution or the Probability Mass. These options are selected based upon the logical value specified for the Cumulative argument.
