success-probability is the success probability of each trial, a numeric value greater than or equal to 0 but less than or equal to 1.

alpha is the criterion, a numeric value greater than or equal to 0 but less than or equal to 1.

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