The CHITEST function is outdated and you will find it in the compatibility category, the function has been replaced with the CHISQ.TEST function.

Formula in cell C12:

=CHITEST(B3:C5,B8:C10)

### Excel Function Syntax

CHITEST(actual_range,expected_range)

### Arguments

 actual_range Required. A range of data. expected_range Required. A range of data.

### Comments

Independence is indicated by a low number of χ2.

The CHITEST function returns

• #N/A error value if the number of data points in the arguments doesn't match.

CHITEST function equation: Aij = actual frequency in the i-th row, j-th column

Eij = expected frequency in the i-th row, j-th column

r = number of rows

c = number of columns
