The NORMINV function is a useful tool in Google Sheets that allows users to calculate the inverse of the cumulative normal distribution for a given probability. This function is particularly helpful in statistical analysis and can be used to find the corresponding value for a specific probability in a normal distribution. By providing the probability and the mean and standard deviation of the distribution, users can easily obtain the desired value using the NORMINV function. This feature in Google Sheets makes it easier to perform complex calculations and analyze data accurately.
NORMINV
Returns the value of the inverse normal distribution function for a specified value, mean, and standard deviation.
Sample Usage
NORMINV(.75,1,4)
NORMINV(A2,A3,A4)
Syntax
NORMINV(x, mean, standard_deviation)
x– The input to the normal distribution function.mean– The mean (mu) of the normal distribution function.standard_deviation– The standard deviation (sigma) of the normal distribution function.
