ExcelIsFun via YouTube

Overview

Learn how to build Discrete Probability Distributions, Expected Value, and Standard Deviation using Worksheet Formulas. The course covers topics such as creating and analyzing probability distributions, calculating probabilities, making business decisions based on distributions, and charting data. Students will also learn about the advantages of using formulas over PivotTables. The course is designed for individuals who want to enhance their Excel skills for statistical analysis and decision-making.
