How to use CHITEST function in Excel
Summary: This tutorial explains how to use the CHITEST() function in Excel. The CHITEST() function returns the test for independence from two ranges or arrays of data. This test is frequently used in statistical analysis to determine if there is a significant association between two categorical variables.
Step 1: Understand the CHITEST function
The syntax for the CHITEST() function is:
=CHITEST(actual_range, expected_range)
Here's what each parameter means:
actual_range: This is the actual range or array of data.expected_range: This is the expected range or array of data.
Step 2: Use the CHITEST function
Assume you have two ranges of data (Actual Range: A1:A5 and Expected Range: B1:B5) and you want to determine if there's a significant association between them. You can use the CHITEST() function like this:
=CHITEST(A1:A5, B1:B5)
This function will return the chi-squared distribution for the given data, which can help you determine whether there is a significant association between the two sets of data.
