BETA.DIST

BETA.DIST: Returns the beta-distribution probability for `x`, with optional lower/upper bounds.

Summary

BETA.DIST can evaluate either the cumulative probability or density on [A, B] (default [0, 1]).

Remarks

  • Requires alpha > 0, beta > 0, and A < B.
  • x must lie within the inclusive interval [A, B].
  • Set cumulative to non-zero for CDF mode, or 0 for PDF mode.
  • Returns #NUM! for invalid bounds, parameters, or out-of-range x.
