Re: [sc-dev] Question about WEIBULL function

Hi André,

Hi,

I'm about doing the review for our help translations and came across an 
inconsistency for the WEIBULL function (the parameter C).

The new Help for this reads:

   If C is 0, WEIBULL calculates the cumulative distribution function.
   If C is 1, WEIBULL calculates the probability density function.

this is equivalent to the wiki:
   
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Calc:_WEIBULL_function 


But the function wizard's quick tip is:
   C: Cumulated. C=0 calculates the density function, C=1 the distribution.

What states quite the opposite.

Can somebody tell, what is correct here?


In the spec it is:
WEIBULL
Summary: Calculates the Weibull distribution.
Syntax: WEIBULL( Number value ; Number alpha ; Number beta ; Logical 
cumulative )
Returns: Number
Constraints: value >= 0; alpha > 0; beta > 0
Semantics: Calculates the Weibull distribution at the position value.
If cumulative is false, the probability density function is calculated.
If cumulative is true, the cumulative distribution function is calculated.

And because 1 is treated as true and 0 is treated as false, 1 is 
cumulative and 0 is density. It is the same for all kind of distributions.

Is the English help the text that I get in DEV300m57? Then the help is 
wrong.

kind regards
Regina
