How to use this tool

  1. Enter minimum, maximum, most likely value, value x.
  2. Select Calculate to view the result.
  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

CDF is (x−a)²/[(b−a)(mode−a)] below the mode and 1−(b−x)²/[(b−a)(b−mode)] above it, with endpoint limits.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using minimum = 0, maximum = 10, most likely value = 4, value x = 1, the result is 0.025. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

Understanding your result

Main result is P(X≤x). A triangular model uses a bounded range and mode; it does not establish that real observations follow this distribution.

What to keep in mind

Main result is P(X≤x). A triangular model uses a bounded range and mode; it does not establish that real observations follow this distribution. A descriptive or probability calculation under the stated assumptions. Check the sample design and model before interpreting results.
