BINOM.INV()/CRITBINOM()

Syntax. BINOM.INV(trials;probability_s;alpha)

Definition. This function returns the smallest value for which the cumulative binomial distribution is greater than or equal to the specified probability. Use this function for quality assurance applications. For example, use the BINOM.INV() function to determine the largest number of defective parts that are allowed to come off an assembly line run without rejecting the entire lot.

Arguments

  • trials (required). The number of Bernoulli trials

  • probability_s (required). The probability for the success of each trial

  • alpha(required). The cumulative binomial probability

Note

If one of the arguments isn’t a numeric value, the BINOM.INV() function returns the #VALUE! error.

If trials isn’t ...
