By comparing the observed results with the expected ones, you can decide whether your original hypothesis is valid.

  • 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.
