histogram: cross markers (black color), numerical simulation; circle markers (red color), analytical solution. The PDF of is a chi distribution with two degrees of freedom and the one of is a chi square distribution with two degrees of freedom. and are 2 and 776, respectively. The null hypothesis is chi with two degrees of freedom with mean and variance given by (3) and (4), respectively. The means and standard deviations of and are ; ; ; . The sample number is 10000 and the number of bins is 60. The chi squared test is accepted at the significance level of 0.05. ; ; ; and .
