Statistics/Chi-squared distribution

The probability density function (pdf) of the chi-squared distribution as used in statistics is

$f(x;\,k)={\dfrac {x^{{\frac {k}{2}}-1}e^{-{\frac {x}{2}}}}{2^{\frac {k}{2}}\Gamma \left({\frac {k}{2}}\right)}}$, where ${\textstyle x>0}$

Here, ${\textstyle \Gamma (k/2)}$ denotes the Gamma_function.
