Name
CHITEST
Synopsis
Use CHITEST to use the chi-squared distribution to determine whether the actual values of the observations match up to the expected values of the observations.
To Calculate
=CHITEST(Actual_Range,Expected_Range)
Both arguments are required for this function and must contain the same number of values.
-
Actual_Range Specifies a range of numeric values that indicates the actual results of the observations.
-
Expected_Range Specifies a range of numeric values that indicates the expected results.
Example
Figure 15-5 illustrates how CHITEST is used to determine whether the results are accurate using the chi-squared distribution to compare actual and expected values.
Figure 15-5. CHITEST compares actual results to expected values and returns a decimal value indicating the comparison of the values
