WorksheetFunction.CritBinom(Double, Double, Double) Method

Definition

Returns the smallest value for which the cumulative binomial distribution is greater than or equal to a criterion value.

public:
 double CritBinom(double Arg1, double Arg2, double Arg3);
public double CritBinom (double Arg1, double Arg2, double Arg3);
Public Function CritBinom (Arg1 As Double, Arg2 As Double, Arg3 As Double) As Double

Parameters

Arg1
Double

The number of Bernoulli trials.

Arg2
Double

The probability of a success on each trial.

Arg3
Double

The criterion value.

Returns

Remarks

Use this function for quality assurance applications. For example, use CritBinom to determine the greatest number of defective parts that are allowed to come off an assembly line run without rejecting the entire lot.

If any argument is nonnumeric, CritBinom generates an error.

If trials is not an integer, it is truncated.

If trials < 0, CritBinom generates an error.

If probability_s is < 0 or probability_s > 1, CritBinom generates an error.

If alpha < 0 or alpha > 1, CritBinom generates an error.
