How-to Guide

1. Enter an exact-success formula

Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar

  1. Open WPS Spreadsheet and select the cell where you want the result to appear.
  2. Type = to begin the formula.
  3. Type BINOM.DIST.RANGE( and review the syntax prompt.
  4. Enter the number of trials, the probability of success, and the exact number of successes, for example =BINOM.DIST.RANGE(60,0.75,48).
  5. Press Enter to return the result in the current cell.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The selected cell shows a probability value.
  • What you can do next: You can edit parameters, copy the formula, or format the result cell.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not start with =, the entry may be treated as plain text.
  • Parameter check: Make sure the number and order of arguments match the syntax prompt.

2. Calculate a success-count range

Entry point: Formulas tab → formula bar

  1. Select the target result cell.
  2. Type =BINOM.DIST.RANGE(.
  3. Enter the number of trials, the probability of success, the starting success count, and the ending success count, for example =BINOM.DIST.RANGE(60,0.75,45,50).
  4. Press Enter to complete the calculation.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The cell shows the probability for the specified success-count range.
  • What you can do next: You can repeat the calculation for other ranges and compare results.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: The ending value in the range should not be smaller than the starting value.
  • Data check: Keep the success-count arguments consistent with the number of trials.

3. Build a dynamic calculation with cell references

Entry point: Worksheet cells → formula bar

  1. Enter the number of trials, the probability of success, and the success-count values into worksheet cells first.
  2. Select the result cell and enter a formula such as =BINOM.DIST.RANGE(A2,B2,C2,D2).
  3. Press Enter to view the result.
  4. Change the values in the referenced cells and review the updated result.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The result cell updates when the referenced values change.
  • What you can do next: You can fill the formula down to calculate multiple rows of data.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Text-formatted numbers in referenced cells can affect the result.
  • Usage tip: Keep parameter columns and result columns separate for easier checking.
