Great many thanks. Result is then --> [Xmin' n' Xmax'] 0.0039321 1. 3.8414588 0.1025866 2. 5.9914645 0.3518463 3. 7.8147279 0.710723 4. 9.487729 1.1454762 5. 11.070498 However, EXCEL conf=0.95 gives me: 0.02531781 1 5.57164339 0.24220928 2 7.22468767 0.61867212 3 8.76727307 1.08986537 4 10.2415887 1.62348639 5 11.6683321 for Xmin=CHIINV(1-(1-conf)/2,2*n)/2 for Xmax=CHIINV((1-conf)/2,2*(n+1))/2 Also, for large numbers, upper 95% limit should be approx. n+1.96√n n n+1.96√n cdfchi 50 63.86 67.50 100 119.60 124.34 150 174.00 179.58 Where do I go wrong with the chi-square distribution?
