WEIBULL.DIST

Definition

Returns the Weibull distribution. Use this distribution in reliability analysis, such as calculating a device's mean time to failure.

Sample Usage

Syntax

WEIBULL.DIST(x,alpha,beta,cumulative)

The WEIBULL.DIST function syntax has the following arguments:

  • X     Required. The value at which to evaluate the function.

  • Alpha     Required. A parameter to the distribution.

  • Beta     Required. A parameter to the distribution.

  • Cumulative     Required. Determines the form of the function.

Remarks

  • If x, alpha, or beta is nonnumeric, WEIBULL.DIST returns the #VALUE! error value.

  • If x < 0, WEIBULL.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.

  • If alpha ≤ 0 or if beta ≤ 0, WEIBULL.DIST returns the #NUM! error value.

  • The equation for the Weibull cumulative distribution function is:

    Equation

  • The equation for the Weibull probability density function is:

    Equation

  • When alpha = 1, WEIBULL.DIST returns the exponential distribution with:

    Equation
