WEIBULL Function Explained
The WEIBULL function in Microsoft Excel calculates the Weibull distribution for a supplied set of parameters. It takes three arguments: X, Alpha, and Beta, and returns the value of the Weibull distribution function at X for a given shape parameter Alpha and scale parameter Beta. The Weibull distribution is a continuous probability distribution often used in reliability engineering.
WEIBULL Function Syntax
WEIBULL(x,alpha,beta,cumulative)
- x: The value for which you want to calculate the distribution.
- alpha: The shape parameter of the Weibull distribution.
- beta: The scale parameter of the Weibull distribution.
- cumulative: A logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, WEIBULL returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability density function.
