The process of determining the chance of an event happening in Google Sheets can be calculated by using the appropriate statistical formulas and functions available in the program. These include the use of probability distributions, such as the binomial or normal distribution, and the application of mathematical equations such as the probability mass function. By carefully analyzing the data and applying the necessary calculations, the probability of an event occurring in Google Sheets can be accurately determined. This method allows users to make informed decisions and predictions based on the likelihood of an event happening in their Google Sheets.
PROB
Given a set of values and corresponding probabilities, calculates the probability that a value chosen at random falls between two limits.
Sample Usage
PROB({1,2,3,4},{0.25,0.25,0.25,0.25},3)
PROB(A2:A100,B2:B100,C2,C3)
Syntax
PROB(data, probabilities, low_limit, [high_limit])
data– Array or range containing the dataset to consider.probabilities– Array or range containing probabilities corresponding todata.- Each value in
probabilitiesmust be greater than0and less than or equal to1.
- Each value in
low_limit– The lower bound on the value range for which to calculate the probability.high_limit– [ OPTIONAL –low_limitby default ] – The upper bound on the value range for which to calculate the probability.- If
high_limitis omitted,PROBcalculates the probability that a value chosen at random is exactly equal tolow_limit.
- If
Notes
- The number of values in
dataandprobabilitiesmust be the same.

CRITBINOM: Calculates the smallest value for which the cumulative binomial distribution is greater than or equal to a specified criteria.
BINOMDIST: Calculates the probability of drawing a certain number of successes (or a maximum number of successes) in a certain number of tries given a population of a certain size containing a certain number of successes, with replacement of draws.
