# NORMINV Function

The NORMINV function is one of the statistical functions. It is used to return the inverse of the normal cumulative distribution for the specified mean and standard deviation.

The NORMINV function syntax is:

NORMINV(x, mean, standard-deviation)

where

x is the probability corresponding to the normal distribution, any numeric value greater than 0, but less than 1.

mean is the arithmetic mean of the distribution, any numeric value.

standard-deviation is the standard deviation of the distribution, a numeric value greater than 0.

The numeric values can be entered manually or included into the cells you make reference to.
