CHITEST(ar,er)

• $ar$ is the array of observed values
• $er$ is the array of expected values

Description

• This function gives the Average for given set numbers.
• Average means sum of all the given elements is divided by Number of the given elements.
• It is also called Arithmetic mean. i.e.If n numbers are given and each number is denoted by ai, where i=1 to n, then A.M= 1/n Summation i=1 to n (ai)= 1/n(a1+a2+.....+an).
• In this function N1,N2,... are either it can be numbers,arrays ,references of cells or we can enter the logical values directly.
• This function will show the result as Error, when the numbers are error values or text that cannot change in to numbers.
• Also if the distribution is symmetric, then we can use this function to find the central tendency.
• The three most common measures of central tendency are: A.M, Median,& Mode.

A.M:  It is calculating by adding the given set of numbers and divided by the count of the given set of  numbers. E.g:Average of 2,4,2,7,2,3 and 5 is 3.6
Median: It is the middle number of a sorted list(Ascending order) of numbers. E.g:The median of 2,2,2,3,4,5,7 is 3
Mode: It is the most frequently  repeated number in a given set of numbers. E.g.The mode of 2,2,2,3,4,5 and 7 is 2

• Sometimes CHITEST returns the error value, when ‘a’ and ‘b’ have a different number of data points.
