values: A range or array of numbers. Eg., A2:A5

probabilities: A range or array of numbers of the same size as values, indicating the corresponding probabilities. The numbers in   probabilities must exactly sum to 1. Eg., B2:B5
start: The lower limit of the values whose probability you want. Eg., 5
end: The upper limit of the values whose probability you want. Eg., 10
