Chi-Square Table (χ² Distribution)

Chi-Square Table (χ² Distribution) Calculator and Critical Values Guide

Use the Chi-Square (χ²) Calculator below to quickly find critical values based on your selected degrees of freedom, significance level (α), and test type. Enter the required inputs, generate the critical value, and use the visual distribution curve to understand the rejection region for your hypothesis test.

The calculator also serves as a practical Chi-Square reference table, helping students, researchers, quality engineers, Six Sigma practitioners, and data analysts determine the correct χ² critical value without manually searching statistical tables.

What Is a Chi-Square Statistic?

The statistic compares observed counts with expected counts.

χ² = Σ (O - E)² / E
  • O = observed frequency
  • E = expected frequency
  • df controls distribution shape

Common Critical Chi-Square Values

Upper-tail critical values.

df.10.05.01

Critical Values of the Chi-Square Distribution

Values are rounded to three decimals.

Calculation Method

Probabilities use the regularized incomplete gamma function. Critical values are found by numerical inversion.
