    Estimating critical value of a right-tailed hypothesis test

    For large numbers of degrees of freedom, the critical X^2 values can be approximated as follows: X2 = 1/2(z+sqrt(2k-1))^2 where k is the number of degrees of freedom and z is the critical value. To find the lower critical value, the negative z-value is used, to find the upper critical value, the positive z-value is used.
