NTTRUNCNORMDIST

Returns the truncated normal distribution for the specified parameters.

Syntax

NTTRUNCNORMDIST(

  • x,
  • Min,
  • Max,
  • Mu,
  • Sigma,
  • Cumulative

)

 

Parameters

  • x is the value for which you want the distribution.
  • Min is a lower limit of a support of the distribution a.
  • Max is a upper limit of a support of the distribution b.
  • Mu is a parameter the distribution \mu.
  • Sigma is a parameter the distribution \sigma\;(>0).
  • Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is TRUE, NORMDIST returns the cumulative distribution function; if FALSE, it returns the probability mass function.

Remarks

  • Restrictions of arguments:

    a<b
    a\leq x\leq b
