doc dec2oct 1

Description

The Excel WEIBULL.DIST function returns the Weibull probability density function or Weibull cumulative distribution for a supplied set of parameters. It is frequently used for reliability analysis, e.g., for testing the mean time of the failure of an equipment in a specific time range.

Formula syntax

WEIBULL.DIST(x_range,alpha,betta,cumulative)

Arguments

  • x: Required, the value at which to evaluate the function.
  • alpha: Required, a parameter of the distribution.
  • beta: Required, a parameter of the distribution.
  • cumulative: Required, a logical value that determines which form of the function to be used.
    TRUE: Weibull cumulative distribution function is used;<
    FALSE: Weibull probability density function is used.

Returns

WEIBULL.DIST function returns a numeric value.

Remarks

1. The function returns #VALUE! error value if x, alpha, or beta is a non-numeric value.

2. The function returns #NUM! error value when

  • x is negative;
  • alpha or beta ≤ 0
  • X_range and prob_range have different numbers of data points, WEIBULL.DIST function return the #N/A error value.

3. The equation for Weibull cumulative distribution function is

Version

Excel 2010 and later versions

Usage and Examples

Basic usage

For getting the Weibull cumulative distribution function (cumulative as TURE) and Weibull probability density function (cumulative as FALSE) separately for the supplied x (10), alpha (15),beta (20), you can use the WEIBULL.DIST function as these:

=WEIBULL.DIST(10,15,20,TRUE) // Weibull cumulative distribution function

=WEIBULL.DIST(10,15,20,FALSE) // Weibull probability density function

Press Enter key to get the result.
