CHIDIST
The CHIDIST function returns the one-tailed probability of the chi-square distribution.
CHIDIST(non-neg-x-value, degrees-freedom)
Â
non-neg-x-value: The value at which you want to evaluate the function. non-neg-x-
value is a number value that must be greater than or equal to 0.
Â
degrees-freedom: Degrees of freedom. degrees-freedom is a number value and
must be greater than or equal to 1.
Examples
=CHIDIST(5, 2) returns 0.0820849986238988.
=CHIDIST(10, 10) returns 0.440493285065212.
