The χ2 distribution is associated with a χ2 test. Use the χ2 test to compare observed and expected values. For example, a genetic experiment might hypothesize that the next generation of plants will exhibit a certain set of colors. By comparing the observed results with the expected ones, you can decide whether your original hypothesis is valid.

Syntax of CHISQ.DIST.RT function

CHISQ.DIST.RT(x,deg_freedom)

The CHISQ.DIST.RT function syntax has the following arguments:

  • X     Required. The value at which you want to evaluate the distribution.
  • Deg_freedom     Required. The number of degrees of freedom.

CHISQ.DIST.RT formula explanation

  • If either argument is nonnumeric, CHISQ.DIST.RT function returns the #VALUE! error value.
  • If any argument is nonnumeric, CHISQ.DIST.RT function returns the #VALUE! error value.
  • If deg_freedom is not an integer, it is truncated.
  • If deg_freedom < 1 or deg_freedom > 10^10, CHISQ.DIST.RT returns the #NUM! error value.

Example of CHISQ.DIST.RT function

Steps to follow:

1. Open a new Excel worksheet.

2. Copy data in the following table below and paste it in cell A1
