CHITEST
Formulas / CHITESTDetermine if a hypothesis is verified using an experiment.
=CHITEST( actual, expected )
- actual_range - an array of observed frequencies
- expected_range - an array of expected frequencies (must have the same dimension as the actual_range array and the values must be the same length)
Examples
=CHITEST(A1:A3,{20,15,15})The χ² statistic for the data indicated is 2.5 with 2 degrees of freedom; leading to a result value of 0.2865.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the CHITEST function?
The CHITEST function is used to test for independence in Sourcetable. It is available for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Excel and is replaced by the CHISQ.TEST function.
What does the CHITEST function do?
The CHITEST function tests for independence between two variables. This means that it checks to see if there is a relationship between two variables or if the variables are independent of one another.
How do I use the CHITEST function?
To use the CHITEST function, you must first enter the data into Sourcetable. Then, select the cells containing the data and open the function dialog box. In the function dialog box, enter the function name, followed by the data range. Finally, click “OK†to execute the function.
What are the limitations of the CHITEST function?
The CHITEST function is only available for backward compatibility with earlier versions of Microsoft Excel. As such, it does not have the same capabilities as the newer CHISQ.TEST function. Additionally, the CHITEST function does not support more than two variables.
