Expert Solution
Step 1

A chi square distribution is a right tailed distribution. It is the distribution of sum of the squares of independent standard normal random variates with  as the degree of freedom. 

The mean and the variance for χ2(n) can be obtained using the formulae:

μ=df

σ2=2×df

Here,  is the degree of freedom,  is the mean of the distribution and  is the variance of the distribution.
