CHISQ.DIST

Formulas / CHISQ.DIST
Return the chi-squared distribution.
CHISQ.DIST(x,deg_freedom,cumulative)
  • x - the value to evaluate the distribution from
  • deg_freedom - the number of degrees of freedom
  • cumulative - determines the form of the function

Examples

  • =CHISQ.DIST.RT(A2,A3)

    To use the CHISQ.DIST function to calculate the one-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution for the arguments specified in A2 and A3, you would enter the formula above in a Sourcetable cell. This will return the one-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution for the arguments specified in A2 and A3.

Summary

The CHISQ.DIST function calculates the chi-squared distribution, used to study variation in percentages in samples. It requires three arguments, and returns an error if any argument is not numeric.

  • The CHISQ.DIST function takes three arguments which are required: X, deg_freedom, and cumulative.
  • The chi-squared distribution is used to analyze variation in the percentage of something in samples.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CHISQ.DIST function?
