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 aa.
  • Max is a upper limit of a support of the distribution bb.
  • Mu is a parameter the distribution μ\mu.
  • Sigma is a parameter the distribution σ(>0)\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<b a≤x≤b a\leq x\leq b
