Syntax. CHISQ.INV(probability,degrees_freedom)
Definition. This function returns the percentile of the left χ2-distribution. If probability = CHISQ.DIST(x,...) then CHISQ.INV(probability,...) = x. Use this function to compare the observed results with the expected results in order to decide whether your original hypothesis is valid.
Arguments
probability (required). A probability associated with the χ2-distribution
degrees_freedom (required). The number of degrees of freedom
Note
If one of the arguments isn’t a numeric value, the CHISQ.INV() function returns the #VALUE! error.
If probability is less than 0 or greater than 1, the CHISQ.INV() function returns the #NUM! error. If degrees_freedom isn’t an integer, the decimal places are truncated. If degrees_freedom is less than 1 or greater than or equal to 1010, the function returns the #NUM! error.
If probability has a value, CHISQ.INV() looks for the value x so that CHISQ.DIST(x, degrees_freedom) = probability. Therefore, the accuracy of CHISQ.INV() depends on the accuracy of CHISQ.DIST(). CHISQ.INV() uses an iterative search technique. If the search has not converged after 100 iterations, the function returns the #N/A error.
Background. The CHISQ.INV.RT() function describes the percentile of the right χ2-distribution and CHISQ.INV() describes the left χ2-distribution.
See Also
You will find more information about chi-squared distributions in the discussion of the CHISQ.TEST() function.
Example. The CHISQ.DIST() function is the inverse function of CHISQ.INV(). See the example for the CHISQ.INV.RT() function to see the use of this function.
Sample Files
Use the CHI.INV or CHISQ.INV worksheet in the Probability.xls or Probability.xlsx sample file. The sample files are found in the Chapter12 folder. For more information about the sample files, see the section titled Using the Sample Files.
