BETADIST

BETADIST(x, alpha, beta [,A] [,B])

Returns the cumulative probability function for a beta distribution (only cumulative).

xThe number between A and B from the distribution.
alphaThe first parameter to the distribution.
betaThe second parameter to the distribution.
A(Optional) The lower bound to the interval of x.
B(Optional) The upper bound to the interval of x.

REMARKS
* This function is only available for backwards compatibility and should not be used.
* BETA.DIST was added in Excel 2010 to replace this function and adds an additional parameter.
* The beta distribution is a [[continuous distribution]]
* This function always returns the cumulative probability function. There is no option for the probability distribution function.
* If "x" < "A", then #NUM! is returned.
* If "x" > "B", then #NUM! is returned.
* If "alpha" = 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "beta" = 0, then #NUM! is returned.
* If "A" = "B", then #NUM! is returned.
* If "A" is left blank, then A = 0.
* If "B" is left blank, then #NUM! is returned.
* If any of the arguments are not numeric, then #VALUE! is returned.
* You can use the BETA.INV function to return the inverse of the probability distribution function for a beta distribution.
* This is similar to the HYPGEOMDIST and LOGNORMDIST functions.
