Question

"The critical values from the chi-square distribution table are important to compute the confidence interval of a population variance. Use Excel to replicate the chi-square critical values table from the book. The left column should show degrees of freedom running between 1 and 120, and the top row should show levels of significance as shown in the table below. Report critical values to the nearest 1/1000. "

I would be more than appreciative if someone could show me how to get this distribution table set up in Excel.

Explanation / Answer

Here columns represent level of significance and row represents degrees of freedom.

Then we can complete the table of critical values by using EXCEL.

Each cell value we can compute by using syntax :

=CHIINV(probability, deg_freedom)

where probability = level of significance or column values and

deg_freedom = row values.

For example :

First cell we can fill by using syntax :

=CHIINV(0.999,1) = 1.5708E-06 = 0.0000

Critical value of 136.982 we can find by using syntax :

=CHIINV(0.1, 117) = 136.982

Critical value of 10.828 we can find by using syntax :

=CHIINV(0.001, 1) = 10.828

Critical value of 75.356 we can find by using syntax :

=CHIINV(0.999, 117) = 75.356

In this way we can compute all the critical values and complete the table.
