CHISQ_INV_RT

Returns the inverse of the right-tailed probability of the chi-squared distribution.

Syntax

expression.CHISQ_INV_RT(arg1, arg2);

expression - A variable that represents a ApiWorksheetFunction class.

Parameters

NameRequired/OptionalData typeDefaultDescription
arg1RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberA probability associated with the chi-squared distribution, a value between 0 and 1 inclusive.
arg2RequiredApiRange | ApiName | numberThe number of degrees of freedom, a number between 1 and 10^10, excluding 10^10.

Returns

number

Example

Convert an upper-tail probability into the matching chi-squared critical value in a spreadsheet.

// Determine the boundary value for statistical significance at a given right-tail probability in a spreadsheet.

// Find the threshold point used to evaluate extreme results in hypothesis testing in a spreadsheet.

let worksheet = Api.GetActiveSheet();
let func = Api.WorksheetFunction;
let ans = func.CHISQ_INV_RT(0.4, 10);
worksheet.GetRange("B2").SetValue(ans);
