NORMINV function

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

Returns the inverse of the cumulative distribution function for the specified mean and standard deviation.

Syntax

NORMINV(probability,mean,standard_dev)

where

Probability

is a probability corresponding to the normal distribution (must be > 0 and < 1).

Mean

is the arithmetic mean of the distribution.

Standard_dev

is the standard deviation of the distribution (must be greater than 0.)

The result of norminv is the inverse of the NORMDISTCDF function, i.e. NORMINV(NORMDISTCDF(x,5,2),5,2)=x.
