><P
>WEIBULL function returns the Weibull distribution. If the @cumulative boolean is true it will return: 1 - exp (-(@x/@beta)^@alpha), otherwise it will return (@alpha/@beta^@alpha) * @x^(@alpha-1) * exp(-(@x/@beta^@alpha)). </P
><P
>If @x &#60; 0 WEIBULL returns #NUM! error. If @alpha &#60;= 0 or @beta &#60;= 0 WEIBULL returns #NUM! error. This function is Excel compatible. </P
