CHIINV function

Returns the inverse of the right-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution. If probability = CHIDIST(x,...), then CHIINV(probability,...) = x. Use this function to compare observed results with expected ones in order to decide whether your original hypothesis is valid.

Syntax

CHIINV(probability, deg_freedom)

Square brackets indicate optional arguments.

Arguments

ArgumentRequiredMeaning
probabilityYesRequired. A probability associated with the chi-squared distribution.0.93
deg_freedomYesRequired. The number of degrees of freedom.1

Try CHIINV

Read the legacy CHIINV function name

=CHIINV(A2,B2)

CHIINV is the compatibility name corresponding to CHISQ.INV.RT. Solve EXP(-x/2)=EXP(-1), giving x=2. The probability argument is the area to the right, unlike CHISQ.INV. Use the modern name when creating a new formula; the old spelling is useful when reading existing workbooks.
