probability that values fall within limits

## signature

```
PROB(x_range, prob_range, lower_limit, [upper_limit])
```

returns: `number`

## arguments

- x_range: range — required
- prob_range: range — required
- lower_limit: number — required
- upper_limit: number — optional

## examples

formula and result, asserted in the engine test suite.

| formula | result | with |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `=PROB(P1:P4, Q1:Q4, 2, 3)` | `0.5` | P1=1, P2=2, P3=3, P4=4, Q1=0.1, Q2=0.2, Q3=0.3, Q4=0.4 |

## errors

error values observed from the engine — each with a call that produces it.

| error | produced by |
| --- | --- |
| `#NUM!` | `=PROB(A1:A3, A1:A3, 2)` |
