Arguments that contain True evaluate as 1; arguments that contain text or False evaluate as 0 (zero). If the calculation does not include text or logical values, use the VARP worksheet function instead.

VARA

The VarA function returns the variance of a population based on a sample of numbers, text, and logical values (ie: TRUE or FALSE).

Syntax:

VARA( value1, value2, … value_n )

where:

value1, value2, … value_n are the sample values. They can be numbers, text, and logical values. Values that are TRUE are evaluated as 1. Values that are FALSE or text values are evaluated as 0. 30 values can be entered.

WEIBULL.DIST

The Weibull.Dist function returns the Weibull Distribution.

Syntax:

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

where:

x is the value that evaluates the function.
alpha is a parameter of the distribution.
beta is a parameter of the distribution.
cumulative determines the form of the function.

Remarks:

#NUM! occurs when x is lesser than zero and when alpha or beta is equal to or lesser than zero.
#VALUE! occurs when beta is non-numeric.

ZTEST

ZTest function returns the one-tailed probability value of a z-test.

Syntax:

ZTEST(a1,T_value,sigma)

where:

array is an array or range of data.
T_value is the value to test..
sigma is the population (known) standard deviation.
