Random Study Notes

Chapter 8
Riskuniform:
- to generate a random number from any uniform distribution, enter the formula
o =riskuniform(min val, max valu)

riskdiscrete…
- generate a random number from any discrete distribution
o (=riskdiscrete(valrange, probrange)
 valrange is range where possible values are stored
 prob range where their probabilities are stored

Chapter 7: Optimzation by Solver

Sumif function
=sumif(compare range, criteria, sum range)

This formula compares the plant number in cell F6 to the Origin range in column A and
sums all flows where they are equal—that is, it sums all flows out of plant 1
