NORMSDIST

The NORMSDIST function calculates the standard normal cumulative distribution function for a specified value. It is used in statistical analysis to find the probability that a value falls below a certain point in a standard normal distribution.

Syntax 🔗

=NORMSDIST(Z)

Z The value for which you want to calculate the standard normal cumulative distribution function.

About NORMSDIST 🔗

Use the NORMSDIST function in Excel to find the cumulative probability of a value within a standard normal distribution. This function calculates the probability of a value being less than or equal to a specified point on a standard normal curve. It is useful in statistical analysis, helping you assess probabilities in fields like finance, research, and quality control. Simply input the value into NORMSDIST to get the cumulative probability, supporting your decision-making and trend analysis.

Examples 🔗

To find the probability that a standard normal random variable is less than 1.5, use the formula: =NORMSDIST(1.5). This returns the cumulative probability for the value 1.5 in a standard normal distribution.

Notes 🔗

The NORMSDIST function assumes a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. Enter the correct value for 'Z' corresponding to the point you are considering within the standard normal curve.

Questions 🔗

How does the NORMSDIST function work?

The NORMSDIST function calculates the area under the standard normal curve to the left of a specified value. This area represents the cumulative probability that a random variable from a standard normal distribution is less than or equal to the given value.

What range of values can be inputted into the NORMSDIST function?

You can input any real number into the NORMSDIST function as the 'Z' value. The function will return the cumulative probability for that specific value within the standard normal distribution.
