Syntax. BINOM.DIST(number_s;trials;probability_s;cumulative)

Definition. This function returns the probabilities of a binomial distributed random variable. Use the BINOM.DIST() function for problems with a fixed number of tests or trials when the results of a trial are only success or failure, when trials are independent, and when the probability of success is constant throughout all trials.
