PROB
The PROB function calculates the probability of a range of values if you know the 
probabilities of the individual values.
PROB(valuesprobabilitieslower, [upper])
 values:  A range of cells containing data values.
 probabilities:  A range of cells containing the probability of each corresponding value 
in values. The sum of the probabilities must add up to 1.
 lower:  The lower limit of the range for which you want to find the probability.
 upper:  Optional; the upper limit of the range for which you want to find the 
probability. If omitted, PROB finds the probability of the single number specified for 
lower.
  
Examples
If cells A1:E1 contain 1/1/2000, 1/1/2010, 1/1/1999, 0.1, 0.1:
  
PRICEMAT(A1, B1, C1, D1, E1) returns 95.
Examples
Given the following table:
  
PROB(A1:A10, C1:C10, 4, 6) returns 0.3, the probability that the value is 4, 5, or 6.
PROB(A1:A10, C1:C10, 5, 9) returns 0.5, the probability that the value is 5 or greater.
PROB(A1:A10, E1:E10, 4, 6) returns 0.59, the probability that the value is 4, 5, or 6.
PROB(A1:A10, E1:E10, 6) returns 0.21, the probability that the value is 6.
